I did all the installation in the same way I did it for the old debian but the apache server is not starting, and at the logs a get nothing but: Mar 03 05:32:29 iac systemd[1]: apache2.service: Control process exited, code=exited status=1 Mar 03 05:32:29 iac systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: Apache2 web server.

Mar 03 05:32:29 iac systemd[1]: apache2.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'. the apache config at the old server, wich I change accordingly, was: PerlSwitches -I /mnt/vmdata/iac/web/lib PerlModule IAC ServerAdmin and...@chandia.net ServerName iac.upf.edu ServerAlias iac.upf.edu DocumentRoot /mnt/vmdata/iac/web/root use lib qw( /mnt/vmdata/iac/web/lib ); SetHandler modperl PerlResponseHandler IAC SetHandler none Alias /iac/stats_tasks/ "/mnt/vmdata/iac/iac_data/stats-tasks" SetHandler none Order allow,deny Allow from all Alias /iac/txt_output/ "/mnt/vmdata/iac/iac_data/txt_output" SetHandler none Order allow,deny Allow from all CustomLog /var/log/apache2/iac.access.log combined ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/iac.error.log Any suggestion on what to look for or utimately how to solve this? thanks a lot. _______________________ andrés chandÃa NMT | Dungupeyem | Corlexim administrador de: Parles.upf | Amind terapia | Mapuche koyaktu | Nocando | mail: ONG Mapuche koyaktu | Psicoaching | P No imprima innecesariamente. ¡Cuide el medio ambiente! _______________________ andrés chandía NMT | Dungupeyem | Corlexim administrador de: Parles.upf | Amind terapia | Mapuche koyaktu | Nocando | mail: ONG Mapuche koyaktu | Psicoaching | P No imprima innecesariamente. ¡Cuide el medio ambiente!
