which certbot commands? can you point me to pertinent reading?
I am looking at my apache config files and they do not include the SSLCertifcate* because I now only have the domain of can not run certbot -d redstonemail.com Is there a source I could derive the syntax from online? I am beginning to stink of desperation

I am researching. Thank you.

None that I know of.
I usually just copy a working file and use that as a "template".
Then "enable" it.
a2ensite newfile.conf
You should always only reference the files (links) in /etc/letsencrypt/live/...
I have re-created my apache2 config file and enabled it using systemctl start apache2
When I run apache2ctl -S | grep redstonemail
I do not see apache listening on 443.
Is there a dollar figure that we can discuss where you can log in to my server and tell me what I am doing wrong? Do I just need to sit back and wait for DNS?
Is there something wrong with this configuration?

<VirtualHost *:443>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com

# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are

Then you have missed something basic to web serving.
There should be a listen statements somewhere.
Sorry, I don't work that way here.
[I'm already trying to tell you what is wrong - for FREE]
At this point, I don't see what could be pending a DNS anything.
Yes, a bit.
Remove:
This Directory doesn't begin anywhere:
Is that file enabled?
Check with:
sudo apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS
The .<.Directory> is present, got lost in the cut/paste

Try without the 2?
apachectl -S | grep redstonemail
systemctl start apache2 will work while systemctl reload apache2 results in error.

That's not necessary.
Just wrap the whole thing between lines with only ``` in them.
You can see what I mean if you edit that post - I added them in there for you.
We need to see the main Apache config.
Maybe at:
/etc/apache2/apache2.conf
here is apache config:
let me know if you need to see my files in /etc/apache2/sites-*
The config file that I showed above is saved at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mvp.redstonemail.com-le-ssl.conf
The only thing that seems out-of-place to me is:
#ServerRoot "/etc/apache2"
Have a look at this:
