Thank you so much for all your help. That took care of it completely.
As a follow-up question, can i just manually rm those .conf files now from my /etc/apache2/sites-available folder if I don’t need them anymore? Or is it better to just leave them with the commented out parts?
@Osiris it was a little silly, but i’m new to this. instead of just letting the domain’s cert just expire on its own, i was following some stack-overflow advice and i accidentally renewed the cert instead. I understand i could’ve just let it expire again, but i felt a little too ocd for that, so i just tried to manually delete it using the instructions to use sudo certbot delete (at the very least, i figured i would learn how to do something new… and i guess overall i did, so that’s only a good thing).
