[PLEASE CLOSE] Apache help

cocolover76

I was redoing the webserver on my website because it was not very good. I tried to install phpMyAdmin (I'm using PostgreSQL and I don't like it's terminal interface(although I'm fine with bash)) and now when I start it, it says:

Job for httpd.service failed. See 'systemctl status httpd.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.

systemctl status httpd.service says:

Please help me with this, because I want to get my website back up soon.
If this is in the wrong forum, the mods can move it.

EDIT: no replies, and as I said, I need it soon, so I will ask on a website that people actually answer your questions on.
this can be closed

Sorry that nobody responded, but that doesn't mean people aren't helpful here

. I am just assuming that not everyone knows how to use Apache.

StackOverflow or SuperUser are good sites for questions like this, particularly if you need an answer quickly.

Though just in case you still haven't figured it out, from the log you posted, it looks like there's an error on line 480 of some file:

httpd: Syntax error on line 480 of /etc

The log you posted has cut off the end of the line, but I'm guessing it's something like `/etc/apache2/httpd.conf`. Maybe you should post the contents of that file?
