Please fill out the questions you deleted when you created this topic. We really do need answers to those to help you. For the "command you used" question, please put the Certbot command you used to issue this certificate. It should be in your command history.

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:

I ran this command:

It produced this output:

Thanks guy. I fixed my topic again. Hope you can help me.

Hi,

I'm not sure how editing my.cnf for mysql could impact your apache...

Since it looks like apache is having trouble starting up, can you try the following command and share us the output?

apachectl fullstatus
apachectl configtest

--------------------------------- (If apachectl returns not found, try the following)

apache2ctl fullstatus
apache2ctl configtest

Thank you

root@ip-xxx-xx-xx-xx:~# apachectl fullstatus
/usr/sbin/apachectl: 101: /usr/sbin/apachectl: www-browser: not found
‘www-browser -dump http://localhost:80/server-status’ failed.
Maybe you need to install a package providing www-browser or you
need to adjust the APACHE_LYNX variable in /etc/apache2/envvars
root@ip-xxx-xx-xx-xx:~# apachectl configtest
Syntax OK

Thanks you.

stevenzhu · July 12, 2018, 3:05am

Hi,

If this is syntax OK, can you please try this systemctl restart apache or service apache restart?

I'm not sure why apache suggest www-browser, but if you want to remove this message, just install a package called links (I have no idea what impacts will have if you install that package) (Do it in your own risk)

Thank you

nghiaphamag · July 12, 2018, 3:07am

Thanks you. I search google and same result install package Links thanks for support

nghiaphamag · July 12, 2018, 4:02am

Hi Guy, I installed Links but still old error.

I run command : ‘systemctl restart apache’ or ‘service apache restart’. after i have notification Failed to restart apache.service: Unit apache.service not found.

Hi,

This means that something is taking the port 443. (SSL) so Apache can't bind..

Try this command
sudo lsof -i -n -P | grep 443 (this will list the service binds to port 443)

Thank you

I think gitlab. Do can show me the way change gitlab? Thanks stevenzhu

Man…

You are having another Nginx instance…

One really fast way of doing this will be move your Apache vHosts to Nginx and remove Apache. (Only use Nginx)

Since I have no idea what that Nginx serves…

nghiaphamag · July 12, 2018, 4:44am

I only use apache for server. I not install Nginx and my domain auto redirect Gitlab. So, I don’t know way remove gitlab-www I think it does not affect.
