Common Apache Errors and Fixes

Decode frequent httpd 2.4 ErrorLog signatures: AH00558, AH00072, AH01630, SSL handshake failures, MaxRequestWorkers exhaustion, and mod_rewrite loops with structured triage.

Triage workflow

Run apachectl configtest, then apachectl -S. Correlate ErrorLog with deploys and cert renewals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.What does AH00558 mean?

Apache could not determine a reliable FQDN—set explicit global ServerName.

Q.Why AH00072?

Port bind conflict or duplicate Listen—find owner with ss.

Q.AH01630 denied?

authz_core Require rules—migrate off Order/Allow/Deny.

Q.SSL after renewal?

fullchain + key match + OCSP reachability.

Q.MaxRequestWorkers hit?

Slots busy—tune MPM and backends together.

Q.PHP 500 only in Apache?

Compare mod_php vs php-fpm timeouts and logs.

Q.DocumentRoot permission denied?

SELinux httpd_sys_content_t vs chmod.

Q.Mixing Require and Order?

Remove legacy directives to avoid ambiguous merges.
