Hello. I’ve run
./certbot-auto certonly --webroot -w /var/www/antilopa/data/www/antilopagold.su -d www.antilopagold.su -d antilopagold.su

command and recieved the message:

  • Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at
    /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.antilopagold.su/fullchain.pem. Your cert
    will expire on 2016-11-01. To obtain a new or tweaked version of
    this certificate in the future, simply run certbot-auto again. To
    non-interactively renew all of your certificates, run
    "certbot-auto renew"

But when I’m opening https://www.antilopagold.su it returns
Fatal error
Invalid license

What’s wrong?

The certonly command only gives you a certificate. Installing that certificate in your web server is up to you.

Mozilla’s SSL Configuration Generator is usually a good starting point. You mentioned that you’re using both nginx and apache - I assume nginx is acting as a reverse proxy, in which case you’ll need to install the certificate on nginx (apache can remain as is).

You may need to reload or cycle nginx. First try running:
sudo ./nginx -s reload

in my nginx.conf I have:
server {

ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/site.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/site.com/privkey.pem;

Check that you have the new certs in nginx.conf and then of course reload.

Thank you. I have such settings in nginx.conf

	server_name antilopagold.su www.antilopagold.su;
	listen 185.15.208.190:443;
        ssl on;
        ssl_certificate /var/www/httpd-cert/antilopa/antilopagold.su.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /var/www/httpd-cert/antilopa/antilopagold.su.key;

so I need to change pathes to
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.antilopagold.su/cert.pem
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.antilopagold.su/privkey.pem

and restart nginx
don’t I?

Almost - ssl_certificate should point to the fullchain.pem file (in the same directory as cert.pem). It’s a combination of cert.pem and chain.pem (the intermediate/issuer certificate, without this you might get warnings with some clients).

The path for ssl_certificate_key is correct. You might want to look into some of the other config directives suggested by Mozilla’s SSL Configuration Generator, but what you have there should give you a basic working configuration.
