This is what the issue was. You need to be in the following folder when a new droplet is created. /etc/apache2/sites-enabled

Hello,

I believe that Apache might not have access to the /root/ directory. So Apache is failing to read the key.

I would recommend moving your key to /etc/ssl/ for example and then testing this again.

Let me know how it goes! Regards, Bobby
