I have a production website running apache on linux. There are all sorts of rules set up which I don’t want to mess with.

I need to restart apache so I decided to do a configtest first to check that everything was ok.

My question is, will apache restart given this error? 

>$ service httpd configtest
Syntax error on line 129 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt' does not exist or is empty

I didn’t change the ssl.conf, I don’t know who did, I don’t know how to fix it. Apache is running fine now. Can I safely restart apache and expect it to come up? If there were more errors than this one would they show – or does configtest stop after the first error?

    I think that Apache hangs on any error, specially syntax errors.
