Is it possible to test Apache for Syntax errors

Yes, you can test Apache Webserver for syntax errors using various mechanisms like:

Using the configtest command:

On your terminal, you can run the following command:

sudo apachectl configtest

This will determine if apache has syntax errors or not. If there are some syntax errors, you be able to identify the affected lines in the apache configuration file.

Using the systemctl status command

Alternatively, you can also use the following command to determine if your apache server is affected by syntax errors:

sudo systemctl status apache2

The above command is usually underrated but it offers a better understanding of whether your apache has syntax errors or not. In most cases, if there some errors, this command will be able to list the affected line in the configuration file.
