Certbot renew fails with "The apache plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration."

Help

I am unable to renew the certificate. The alleged syntax error is on line 80, but line 80 is EOF.

My domain is: cycletaiwan.com

I ran this command: certbot renew

It produced this output:

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Processing /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/cycletaiwan.com.conf

Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing...
Could not choose appropriate plugin: The apache plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: PluginError('There has been an error in parsing the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/cycletaiwan.conf on line 80: Syntax error',)

If the line is EOF, then there's likely an unclosed tag somewhere in the file.

Posting the entire thing might help, if you can.

trying to edit for better formatting, standby. This is really painful, why can't this forum use simple tags?

Thanks!

The bottom of that file does indeed seem chopped off. At the very least, it is missing

</VirtualHost>
</IfModule>

but there might be more stuff missing than that, I can't tell what was truncated.

#justmarkdownthings. You can wrap it in:

```
<virtualhost blah blah>
# etc
```

wow, you saw it while I was trying to fix up the formatting and before I nuked the whole thing.... and you fixed it. Thank you!
