On a CentOS Web Panel (CWP) server, control panel stopped working after installing SSL certficate for hostname.
When starting cwpsrv service, i get following error.
[root@nvme ~]# systemctl start cwpsrv
Job for cwpsrv.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status cwpsrv.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
[root@nvme ~]# systemctl status cwpsrv.service

To fix this, i run
/usr/local/cwpsrv/htdocs/resources/scripts/generate_hostname_ssl
This generated the self signed SSL for hostname. After this CWP control panel started working.
Apache still was down, fixed it by removing SSL virtualhost config for server hostname form folder
/usr/local/apache/conf.d/vhosts/
You can see hostname auto SSL logs at
/var/log/cwp/autossl.log
See CWP
