I'm trying to restart apache2 service and i'm having error.

reload:

Job for apache2.service invalid.

restart:

Job for apache2.service failed. See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

journalctl -xe:

systemctl status apache2.service:

Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.

So what i'm doing wrong ? What can i do ? Line 219 is:

IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf

Best Regards

After you made any changes to the Apache configuration file, before you reload the service, make sure that configuration is correct, or else it will cause you an unnecessary downtime.

To verify the configuration syntax for Apache:apachectl -t.

Secondly, you can look into /var/log/httpd/error.log for any hint.

From your information above, this has to do with a syntax error in the config file. Go to line 219 and fix the line.
