Unable to install ssl cert from certbot

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:accomplishielts.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot certonly --apache

It produced this output:
"Could not choose appropriate plugin: The apache plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: NoInstallationError('Cannot find Apache executable apache2ctl')
The apache plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: NoInstallationError('Cannot find Apache executable apache2ctl')"

My web server is (include version): Apache/2.4.46

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): linux debian 10 buster

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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): certbot 1.13.0

Are you running a custom version of Apache? E.g. compiled it yourself and installed it in a non-standard location?

What's the output of locate apache2ctl or if that doesn't work whereis apache2ctl?
