the hard part for me is that httpd.conf is only 539 lines... (according to vi)
My domain is: galacticamc.xyz
I ran this command: # certbot install --cert-name galacticamc.xy
It produced this output: Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Unable to read ssl_module file; not disabling session tickets.

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 1.18.0
not sure if its relevant, but that file has "Listen 80" in it, and I also have /usr/local/etc/apache24/extra/httpd-ssl.conf, which contains "Listen 443".
I also have /usr/local/etc/apache24/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf, which does not contain a "Listen" line...
Include /usr/local/etc/apache24/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Include etc/apache24/extra/proxy-html.conf
Include etc/apache24/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
Include etc/apache24/Includes/*.conf
Please also show the output of: sudo apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS
Output below. BTW, not sure if this is relevant but this is running in a jail. Regarding the inconsistency, i was under the impression that without the leading /, the path was relative to some root, and ServerRoot is "/usr/local", so i thought that was supposed to work but i don;t actualy know that 100%...... but i am changing all the "etc/apache24" to "/usr/local/etc/apache24" and will let you know if there is any difference.

interesting, so i guess there was some mixup with the include files' directories? After changing all Includes to use the absolute path "/usr/local/etc/apache24", instead of the relative path "etc/apache24" the "multiple Listeners" error went away and the certificates deploy successfully.... thank you! i dont know if i ever would have thought of that.
