Hi @MikeMcQ thank for your prompt reply.
There is another staging site in the server, when i first install sudo certbot --apache, I installed for all the domains and this file mssbweb-dev-le-ssl.conf comes first
I was trying with this solution here SSLCertificateFile: file doesnt exist or is empty - #3 by tolgacan just a few moments ago. to comment out the said Syntax error line 7.
and the server failed to start.

How should I unblocked my port 443 and how can I restart my server in this case?
