I followed the letsencrypt instructions exactly, but it didn't work, so I did a certbot delete once, but when I restarted Apache, I got the following error and it didn't work.
What is the best way to reconfigure it?

Hi @nobu,
You should delete /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-le-ssl.conf and then restart Apache.
Thank you very much.
I tried deleting /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-le-ssl.conf and running it.
It changed to the following error, does that mean there is some file missing?
● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server

You're running the restart command as root, right?
What's on line 225 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf? What does the log in /var/log/apache2 say?
The error log will be as follows.
[Tue Apr 06 19:58:45.678903 2021] [mpm_prefork:notice] [pid 28511] AH00163: Apache/2.4.25 (Debian) OpenSSL/1.0.2u configured -- resuming normal operations

How about the contents of this configuration file?
Line 225, which is as follows.
Include the virtual host configurations:
IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf
It is true that if I commented this line 225, Apache worked, but the wordpress service did not work.
Are there other files still present in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled?
The file was still there.
After deleting the file, I checked the site and it worked fine.
Thank you very much for your help.
