Deleted Certbot and Apache and cannot get certs back

My domain is: haywalk.ca

I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache

It produced this output:

IMPORTANT NOTES:

My web server is (include version): Apache 2.4.38

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) arrmv71

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: GoDaddy Canada

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 0.31.0

I ran into an issue with Apache and purged everything - all the folders, Certbot included. Now I'm getting these errors. I'm a beginner to running a web server (started as a hobby 8 months ago) and I would appreciate any help!

Hi Hayden and welcome to the LE community!

Your Apache config may need some help.
Please show the output of:
sudo apachectl -S

Thank you! I appreciate your help! I figured it out - when I was fiddling with my Pi server I had rerouted all traffic to my laptop, on which I was running a "sorry, my server broke" page. I changed my port forwarding settings to point to my server, then did the certificate request again and it worked like a charm!

is throwing an error. You might need to expand your certificate.
