Hi I followed this guide to generate a certificate for my domain: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-20-04
I added ServerName my_domain and ServerAlias www.my_domain in /etc/apache2/sites-available/my_domain.conf but the domain is not listed between available sites for https in cerbot.
Any ideas how to fix that? Thank you

Hi there,
Once you created the Apache virtual host config at the sites-available directory, did you run sudo a2ensite your_domain.conf to enable the config file?
Also after enabling the file, you need to run a config test:
sudo apache2ctl configtest
And if you get Syntax OK, then restart Apache as well:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Let me know how it goes. Regards, Bobby
Hi Bobby, I tried sudo a2ensite your_domain.confbut after that I get this message when I run sudo apache2ctl configtest:
AH00526: Syntax error on line 2 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/my_domain.conf:
ServerAlias only used in <VirtualHost>
Action 'configtest' failed.
I can’t restart apache due to this error.
Thank you
