i am trying to install lets encrypt but with no success. i get the following error:
Keeping the existing certificate Could not reverse map the HTTPS VirtualHost to the original
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Unable to install the certificate
- Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at: /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.deals4u.co.il/fullchain.pem Your key file has been saved at: /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.deals4u.co.il/privkey.pem Your cert will expire on 2018-05-19. To obtain a new or tweaked version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot again with the “certonly” option. To non-interactively renew all of your certificates, run “certbot renew”

Hi, it sounds like you’re renewing the certificate without having it installed on Apache first. Did you run sudo certbot --apache -d deals4u.co.il when you first tried to install Certbot?
Also, ServerName needs to be set to deal4u.co.il
I am having this issue too on Ubuntu 16.04 and apache I hope someone can come up with a solution.
