Hello,
Yes indeed as Amiy mentioned you have a syntax error in your /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-le-ssl.conf file on line 35, your /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.ccc.com/fullchain.pem file seems to be missing. This probably happened during the Let’s Encrypt SSL installation.
What I could suggest is the following:
- Disable the
000-default-le-ssl.confVhost completely - Then try starting apache again:
systemctl start apache2
- Once your Apache is up and running again, then just follow the steps here on how to secure your Apache with Let’s Encrypt and Cerbot:
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
You have a syntax error and a missing SSL file.
