Resolution

1. 1. Switch Off/Disable LiteSpeed

   2. Run the following command:

      # yum install --reinstall httpd-2.4.6-98.el7_9.6.cloudlinux.x86_64

   3. Verify installation (modified config files are fine):

      # rpm -V httpd-2.4.6-98.el7_9.6.cloudlinux.x86_64

   4. Run the Web Server configuration repair:

      # plesk repair web -v -y
