Hi there @googlyy and welcome to the Community.

It seems your Apache is looking for a certificate and it's not finding it. Please corect the value of SSLCertificateFile so it points to an actual certificate and try again. It could also be due to the fact apache2ctl is not run as root, so you could also try sudo apache2ctl configtest.
