I just installed a new cert on a RHEL 8 server. I updated the conf files and restarted Apache. Apache is failing but I can't figure out why. How do I determine what's causing the problem? Here's what Apache is returning:
$ sudo journalctl -xe

I have both a php.conf and a php81-php.conf so I renamed php.conf. It had no effect (and it has coexisted happily for a while).
/etc/httpd/conf.modules.dto make sure you still don't have multiple module config files. Are the two php.conf files in /etc/httpd/conf.d or /etc/httpd/conf.modules.d?
