I launched Apache2 somehow. I just moved @100-abcmotors.lt.vhost from /sites-enabled. Then i had fully deleted this site from server. Thanks to God now my server (all other sites) working. What it was? i tried this tutorial: https://tomlankhorst.nl/free-ssl-certificates-use-lets-encrypt-with-ispconfig/
Yes, no doubt. But why all the trouble when ISPConfig can make all the modifications to vhosts, without manual intervention. That article is very old. Then, ISPConfig - LetsEncrypt implementation was not added. Update to the latest ISPConfig version, and you will see on every website hosted two checkboxes SSL and Let's Encrypt SSL.
i use older, 3.0 and planning to upgrade to newest this summer, just i will need to move some important webs. Little scary.
Anyway... all the info about the error you can find it in /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/abcmotors.lt/error.log...
