After I tried to install SSL certificate to my VPS the httpd is down. I used this tutorial (BTW ln -s commando is not found, so I stopped here), but already renamed the .bak-files to their correct name again, as failed). Error: - Line 63 is not available on /000-sipconfig.vhost AH00548: NameVirtualHost has no effect and will be removed in the next release /etc/apache2/sit AH00526: Syntax error on line 63 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-ispconfig.vhost: SSLCertificateFile: file '/usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl/ispserver.crt' does not exist or is empty. Action 'configtest' failed. What should I do ? How can I undo or correct the error ? I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.
ensure that /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl/ispserver.crt is really a file and not a symlink and that it contains the old certificate. Regarding the original problem, you probably did not got an LE SSL cert in the first step and when you set the symlinks to this non existing cert, then apache fail. Check why LE did not issue a certificate: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/lets-encrypt-error-faq.74179/
Certificate was not issued. It is only one for one of the two domains on the server. I also tried to copy the content from file ispserver.crt-190314093543 to ispserver.crt file which indeed was empty (so I presume a symlink). Now I have no errors in the log, but apache refuse to restart. If I add the content there and save, it will safe as a file or not ?
Done. No chance to restart the apache.

check the key and bundle file too and ensure that you do not have a wrong line at the end of the certificate file.
The problem here seems to be another. I'm on a VPS at OVH, when I try to force certificate than I get this error: There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new order :: too many certificates already issued for: ovh.net: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/
How to remove all what was done before ? I'm unable to restart the apache. BTW I don't want to remove the certificate from the domains, only from vps.
You have to use your own hostname, not a subdomain from ovh. LE will not issue certs for ovh subdomains. That's what I explained above in this thread. Delete the symlinks and copy back the original files. if you don't have the original files anymore, then you can do an ispconfig update, select git-stable as update source and then choose to recreate new ssl certs during update.
ISPConfig update not possible. It stucks on second point - backup. I choose yes. nothing happens. Made also this: sudo rm -rf /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl/ispserver.cert and restarted apache. No luck. No errors but apache wont restart httpd
Thank you, finally I manged it. Deleted all in ISPConfig/SSL folder, run the ispconfig update, created new SSL certificate (by choosing no - default, it was not possible to access ISPConfig anymore !!), and now all running again.
