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. https://crt.sh/?q=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: collisdesign.com.au
I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache
It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Error while running apachectl configtest.
AH00526: Syntax error on line 144 of /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-ssl.conf:

The apache plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: MisconfigurationError(âError while running apachectl configtest.\n\nAH00526: Syntax error on line 144 of /private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-ssl.conf:\nSSLCertificateFile: file â/private/etc/apache2/server.crtâ does not exist or is empty\nâ)
My web server is (include version): Apache/2.4.34 (Unix)
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Mac OS Mojave
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: ME and my macmini
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I donât know):I donât know
Iâm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version
or certbot-auto --version
if youâre using Certbot): 0.32.0
MY NOTES: I am a total newbie, having setup apache on mac, finally got localhost/virtual host [*.80] configured, a whole day spent understanding/editing âhttpd.confâ
âhttpd-vhosts.confâ - tldr - did have a âhello worldâ page showing under http
SO all my research for SSL Cert use LetsEncrypt
Installed Homebrew, certbot
Ran certbot --apache [automated]
HOWEVER after getting - Unable to install the certificate I then discovered some modifications to httpd.conf regarding SSL were not dome prior
I AM CURRENTLY in a hole - HELP NEEDED as I do not know how to fix this
In hind site the certbot --apache SHOULD of either alerted to this OR corrected/halted proceedings
SO withâŚ

thank you
PS have since edit the httpd.conf regarding SSL âunhashingâ and has made no difference
