Sorry, it turns out that I had put the file at /etc/apache2/virtual.conf instead of at /etc/apache2/other/virtual.conf so it wasn’t being included.
I moved it to the right place, restarted apache again, and then tried
sudo certbot --apache
and now get this:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Error while running apachectl configtest.
AH00526: Syntax error on line 1 of /private/etc/apache2/other/virtual.conf:
Cannot define multiple Listeners on the same IP:port
The apache plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: MisconfigurationError('Error while running apachectl configtest.\n\nAH00526: Syntax error on line 1 of /private/etc/apache2/other/virtual.conf:\nCannot define multiple Listeners on the same IP:port\n')
The main httpd.conf has this section:
<IfDefine SERVER_APP_HAS_DEFAULT_PORTS>
Listen 8080
</IfDefine>
<IfDefine !SERVER_APP_HAS_DEFAULT_PORTS>
Listen 80
</IfDefine>
Could that be what is causing the conflict?
I can’t upload my log as a new user, so I have to include it in the post:
