Resolved Unable to generate the web server configuration error

[Stephan Griesel]

Can I run Plesk repair utility to fix the issue below?

Received the following email alert. I opened the Abstract.php file on the server and there is just a bunch of characters that does not make any sense? Is this standard in Plesk?

Unable to generate the web server configuration file on the host <myservername> because of the following errors:

Template_Exception: apache2: Syntax error on line 216 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: Syntax error on line 7 of /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/zz010_psa_httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /etc/apache2/plesk.conf.d/vhosts/somewebsite.com.conf: No such file or directory

file: /opt/psa/admin/plib/Template/Writer/Webserver/Abstract.php
line: 75
code: 0​

Please resolve the errors in web server configuration templates and generate the file again.​

This was also showing on the Plesk console. I had a look at the folder 'mywebsite.com.conf', text red so it means its an archive file right? I suspect the client may have moved this site to another domain. How can I solve this?

Hi Stephan Griesel,

I opened the Abstract.php file on the server

Why do you want to open this file?

there is just a bunch of characters that does not make any sense?

Plesk uses encryption to protect the code developped by Plesk.

I had a look at the folder 'mywebsite.com.conf'

This is not a folder, it is the domain - specific webserver configuration file.

I suspect the client may have moved this site to another domain

Please check the domains on your server. If the specfic (sub)domain is not listed at

=> HOME > Domains​

... it has been removed and the existing (sub)domain - specific webserver configuration file should have been deleted from your server.

The recommended way is either to use the Plesk Repair Utility, or the usage of

or use the example command:

plesk repair web -y -v

Why do you want to open this file?

Log file was referencing to it so was curious what it contains

Plesk uses encryption to protect the code developped by Plesk.

Yep I figured

This is not a folder, it is the domain - specific webserver configuration file.

Thank you for confirming. Noticed the .conf at the end of file.

... it has been removed and the existing (sub)domain - specific webserver configuration file should have been deleted from your server.

Looks like the domain was added as subdomain initially, not sure why everything was not removed when client deleted domain

The recommended way is either to use the Plesk Repair Utility

Repair gave me same warning as log file, end up just deleting the config file mentioned earlier. Will monitor this.


Thank you for your thorough reply @UFHH01. New web server files were generated after I completed all of above and it the process completed successfully.
