Recieved the following error:

Hi @walter28, and welcome to the LE community forum

Using force hardly ever does what you seem to expect: Make a broken system work.

Something is not working.
Let's review the Apache settings with the output of:
apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS

FYI: Apache responds not nginx

This is what responds:

curl -Ii athena.thecpigroup.com
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Fri, 13 May 2022 21:34:23 GMT
Server: Apache/2.4.41 (Ubuntu)

I tried running the apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS on my server and got the following:

-bash: apachectl: command not found

Then you need to follow the packet.
Where does 47.207.11.13:80 end up?
