Challenge failed for domain on Ubuntu/Apache

Okay. That explains that much anyway. Now you have to figure out why your server replies with an error 500 for any request. That is not just a Let's Encrypt issue. Even a request for your "home" page gets this error.

Based on the error page details, looks like there is some database connection problem.

curl -i http://urbanbeach.com
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Ubuntu)
X-Powered-By: PHP/5.3.10-1ubuntu3.48
