Hi, After my Centos 7 update and the httpd update to the last version 2.4.41 my Certbot is not working anymore. It is showing… certbot --apache Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log Error in checking parameter list: 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.’,) The website old is working fine… but i can’t add new certificates and renew. Could you help me please?

Hi @daniluski , Sorry for this regression. Please upgrade to 2.4.43-6.

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?

I don’t know, could you report it 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.
