Mountain Lion Server Web Server not working after time machine restore

Our Mountain Lion Server (mac mini) lost its drive yesterday. We got a new mac mini and did a time machine restore. Everything in the Server seems to be working (users, groups, file shares, etc) except for the web server.


Trying to connect to the server results in safari not being able to connect to the server. Even just clicking on the "view server website" link in the Server app doesn't work.


We've tried stopping / restarting the services. We have confirmed that the files in Library / Server with the web pages were restored.


Are there any gotchas, troubleshooting steps or guides anyone can point me to? I'd like to get our wiki back.


Thanks


Jeff

/var/log/apache2/error_log repeats the following lines about every 30 seconds:

Thanks so much for the feedback. That's an good suggestion. Interestingly, though, I have not used SSL in the past and have never applied a certificate to the web server (nor have I ever gotten a certificate).


Is there some way to turn SSL off or eliminate the need for the certificate? We just use the web server for our wiki, so we're not too worried about SSL.


If not, I supposed I can just set up a certificate authority and create my own certificate. But I'd rather keep it simple if simple will work. Thoughts?
