Hello,
My domain is: http://ottawaspecial.events
I ran this command: sudo /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto certonly --apache
It produced this output:
` - Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:`
/etc/letsencrypt/live/ottawaspecial.events/fullchain.pem
Your key file has been saved at:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/ottawaspecial.events/privkey.pem
Your cert will expire on 2020-03-06. To obtain a new or tweaked
version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot-auto
again. To non-interactively renew all of your certificates, run
“certbot-auto renew”
My web server is (include version): apache
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): debian 8
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: ovh
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version
or certbot-auto --version
if you’re using Certbot): current certbot version
Here is my current vhosts file:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>

DocumentRoot /var/www/newsite

when i create the symlink the hosts file, Apache will not accept the configuration or start the web server.
if the symlink is removed, the server will start properly.
