Greetings those who will find an obvious flaw!
So, I am trying to set up LE for a server for the first time. For reasons I have been setting it up without encryption for a year (predominantly as I doubted whether it was even going to be used) - if it helps, there is Drupal and CiviCRM set up on the VPS.
I am probably missing something really simple in the conf file; but can not see the command for the pastebin (or whatever the wood and trees analogy is these days)
My domain is: fndepot.online
I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache
It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
The apache plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: PluginError('There has been an error in parsing the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/fndepot.online.conf on line 10: Syntax error')
