IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • An error occurred and we failed to restore your config and restart
    your server. Please post to

    about your configuration and this error you received.
  • Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:

    again with the “certonly” option. To non-interactively renew all

My domain is: eu-r.com

I ran this command: ./certbot-auto --apache

It produced this output: see above

My web server is (include version): Apache/2.2.15 (Unix)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): centos 6.9 (Final)

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no

no idea what happened or what to do next
any help appreciated

I got this sorted by removing one Listen 80
line in my httpd.config file

but now only http will load
https shows: Connection closed by server

So I thought site is not listening on 443
but when adding virtual host for 443 in my http.conf
I am back to the same error again.

checked netstat -anp|grep :443 then, output is
tcp 0 0 :::443 :::* LISTEN 18768/httpd

Can someone help me?

Thxs a lot, much appreciated

Please paste your Apache configuration here so we can see what the problem may be:

tail -n +1 /etc/httpd/conf*/*

If the forum software won’t let you post it because it is too long you can use a service like pastebin.com and link to it here.
