New SSL cert broke my server

I have setup a new server with Almalinux 8.9 and CWP. I have installed Wordpress using Softaculous.

All worked well until I used the AutoSSL feature. It installed the cert ok - or so it told me - but on testing it failed.

I can now no longer access my site or CWP! It seems Apache is redirecting all traffic to https. How can I manually remove the redirect using bash?

I am used to using Ubuntu and the Apache config files are not where I expect to find them.

Any help would be appreciated

UPDATE

I have been able to determine that after the ssl is applied apache fails to reload

The apache logs show:

I have changed my servername above but the actual domain name and my server sub domain both resolve to my IP correctly.

Does the server on my local DNS need to be operating or can I rely on my domain name provider?

Seems your files /etc/pki/tls/certs/hostname.bundle and /etc/pki/tls/private/hostname.key was generated at different moments.
The best an easier step to you, is save your server certificate.

Just save the hostname of your server again, and CWP will generate your server certificate again.
