Hi folks,
I'm trying to install a certificate on a CentOS 7.2 Server that is running apache that acts as a proxy for a tomcat. Basically everything works, but if I try to do a 'certbot --apache' and select my domain, I get the error 'Error while running apachectl graceful'.
'systemctl status httpd.service' outputs this:
systemctl status httpd.service

I think the main problem here is the 'kill: cannot find process "" but where does it come from? Any ideas?
Both commands 'systemctl restart httpd.service' and 'apachectl graceful' work fine when executed seperately.Thank you
