Failed authorization procedure for my domain

In the past I configured Apache as a reverse proxy and then deployed the Letsencrypt certificate and it worked fine for 2 years.
It's only in the last 2 weeks that the problem started.

What has changed since the last certificate was renewed?

Yes, something is putting extra data around the ACME Challenge response from your Apache server.

This extra data is preventing the challenge from succeeding. The tags for <code><span> are the problem. We cannot figure out why this is being added to your server's response.

Can you review the PHP configuration?
Can you test downgrade PHP [to previous version]?

my PHP version was actually 7.2, it was when I wanted to downgrade the PHP version to 5.5 that I ran into a few problems. I deleted the PHP 5.5 directory because I had installed it manually (make install), but when I type the PHP -v command, I still see the 5.5 version.

The PHP executable file is located:

Hello, can you help me pls

I am out of ideas.
But I'm pretty sure it has something to do with your PHP configuration.
Do you know where the wrapping occurs?:

<code><span style="color: #000000">
test4<br /></span>

I don't have good ideas either but could you show output of this

sudo grep -r prepend /etc/apache2

Something is adding those extra html tags around the actual data. This has to stop at least for the responses for /.well-known/acme-challenge requests

Since your certificate is expired, I would run certbot in manual mode and use a DNS challenge to obtain a new cert.

It is not a permanent solution; But it will give you 90 days to figure out the coding problem.

/etc/apache2/mods-available/autoindex.conf: # HeaderName is the name of a file which should be prepended to
