Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.
My domain is:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot
configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a
secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will
also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so
making regular backups of this folder is ideal.

My web server is (include version):
Apache 2.4.41, built from distribution – NOT the Debian auto-installed one
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Debian linux Bullseye
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
n/a
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
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):
certbot 0.40.1
Notes:
-
The Debian apt installation of Certbot cannot be used because this system has an Apache built from distribution. Attempting to install the Debian apt version would destroy the existing web server and configuration.
-
Despite having told Certbot that the Apache distribution is rooted at /usr/local/apache2/conf, it appears to be attempting to use config files located in what would be the Debian install config root, /etc/apache2.
Question: Before going forward with attempting to activate SSL, have I got a usable configuration or not; and how do I confirm that the configuration is usable?
