Help

Hello, I’m trying to create a new SSL in my new server but when the process is finishing I got an error with this message:

An unexpected error occurred:
StopIteration
Please see the logfiles in /var/log/letsencrypt for more details.

And in the Log file, I have this, but I don’t understand

Apache is notorious for running at all costs.
Even when the configuration is not exactly correct.

I’m thinking certbot is having trouble with the configuration because it may not make sense to it.
I think we should review your configs to ensure that everything is working as expected.
Let’s start with:
apachectl -S

Sorry from that output I can’t help you.
[I think you may be cutting out too much]

If you don’t have a specific vhost for the name you are trying to secure, you should do that first.
http://your.domain/ must work before https://your.domain/ will work.

Ok. But when I try to access to port 80 I can access to the website but when and I try to access https its impossible. I have others vHost with SSL running perfectly. I don’t know why I got this error with theses new vHost.
