Auto renewal not working

[Sam]

My domain is: xxxxxx.nl

I ran this command: sudo certbot renew

It produced this output:

root@ext:/home/user# sudo certbot renew
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

My web server is (include version): Apache

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): certbot 0.31.0

Our webserver is redirected from port 80 to 443 in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/traccar.conf
Hope somebody knows what i have to change to get de auto renewal working again.

Thanks!

There has been an error in parsing the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/traccar.conf on line 23: Syntax error

You'll want to repair the syntax error on line 23 of traccar.conf.

Certbot doesn't work if your Apache configuration is in a state of disrepair.

The config file only has 22 lines:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c
         <VirtualHost _default_:80>
               ServerName s01.xxxxx.nl
               Redirect / https://s01.xxxxxx.nl
         </VirtualHost>

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
        <VirtualHost _default_:443>
                ServerName s01.xxxxxxx.nl
                ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
                DocumentRoot /var/www/html

                ProxyPass / http://localhost:8082/
                ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8082/

                SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/s01.xxxxxxx.nl/privkey.pem
                Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf
        </VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

Edit: simpler fix is just to remove the very first line of the file:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c
