Is this an issue with CodeIT’s rpm or with Apache/2.4.41?
Well, I think it’s an issue with Certbot’s platform overrides more than anything else. I didn’t mean to assign blame to CodeIT.
But I don’t think it’s just a 2.4.41 thing.
I tried installing Apache httpd 2.4.41 from buster-backports, and apachectl -t -D DUMP_RUN_CFG still works just fine.
So it’s either the combination of 2.4.41 + EL, or the CodeIT build specifically.
CentOS 8 is coming out in a couple of days I think? That might give a better clue.
Thanks for pointing out. I see that newest Fedora RPMs have apachectl.sh scripts that do not allow passing httpd arguments anymore.
We removed apachectl.sh from builds and left original redhat patched version.
Can you test upgrading from testing repository (fixed in 2.4.41-4)?
Please provide feedback and we will push updates to regular repo if it works fine for you.

Thanks Alexander.
I did it. It is working fine after the upgrade.
I’m using the fix 2.4.41-4 and it works normal.
Could you update the main repository with this fix?
Please have a question, I saw that you made available with OPENSSL 1.1.1d? How could it update automatically? My version is 1.0.12k.
Thanks for confirmation, we will update repos within one hour.
Regarding OpenSSL, we always try to keep all CentOS libraries versions as we can, so we do not ship OpenSSL version upgrade for CentOS. We only build/link httpd and nginx against new OpenSSL versions and ship this libraries inside mod_ssl and nginx packages (they are built inside binaries) and do not affect your OS and other applications.

Sure! It is working fine, I just updated others VPS and it works now.
Thank You.
It sounds like Alexander is saying this problem is caused by Fedora’s apachectl.sh script. Has anyone reported this issue to Fedora?
Yes, it’s definitely Fedora issue: I checked with Fedora 29 and httpd 2.4.39:
# rpm -q httpd
httpd-2.4.39-3.fc29.x86_64
# apachectl -t -D DUMP_RUN_CFG
Passing arguments to httpd using apachectl is no longer supported.
You can only start/stop/restart httpd using this script.
To pass extra arguments to httpd, see the httpd.service(8)
man page.I do not agree. This is not a defect in Fedora’s package. It is an issue resulting from trying to run a Fedora package on CentOS:
- On Fedora, Certbot uses
httpd -t -D DUMP_RUN_CFG. - On CentOS, it uses
apachectl -t -D DUMP_RUN_CFGinstead.
These presets in Certbot were chosen presumably based on how the base httpd packages in each of those distributions were built.
I don’t think it’s any more complicated than that.

Hi, I updated Apache with codeIT distribution and I am unable now to issue certificates since certbot cannot understand Apache configuration.
I seem the issue is the same as in The apache plugin is not working since the command
apachectl -t -D DUMP_RUN_CFG
is not supported, but from that thread the problem should have been solved last September…
My domain is:
www.lightpoint.info
I ran this command:
certbot --apache
It produced this output:
The apache plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration. The error was: MisconfigurationError('Apache is unable to check whether or not the module is loaded because Apache is misconfigured.',)
My web server is (include version):
Apache, 2.4.43, latest codeit distribution
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Centos 7.7.1908
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
yes
cerbot --version
1.3.0
Thanks a lot
