Hi, I was wondering if the following problem is apache related or Proxmox related, but since I never encountered this issue with any Linux server I guess this is a PVE issue.
I have public and private domain name configured to access my PVE and any VM web server. I'm using apache2 on PVE. For public domain names I have Let's Encrypte certificate generated with Proxmox GUI and saved to its default path in
The SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/pve/local/pveproxy-ssl.pem' does not exist or is empty is the problem here, cause the file does exist and I just have to log to the PVE through SSH and start manually apache2. When I start it manually there is no error message, apache2 starts, and I can access my content using domain names.
To summarize, the problem occurs only at the first startup of apache after a reboot. Never when I stop it or start it manually.
Is this related to PVE behavior ? Could be the certificate file not ready at startup or something like that ?

/etc/pve/local/
. Everything works well until I reboot the PVE. Each time the PVE is rebooted, apache2 fails to start automatically with this message :
