Description:
Wanted to renew letsencrypt certificate, but it showed up error as the files were missing. After looking for various solution on this forum, it turned out to be broken certbot as folders like live an other were missing in directory. Hence removed and reinstalled the bot and certificates. Everything added up perfectly as directed, but still ended up with ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. Modified Apache files and checked for bitnami.conf and httpd.conf . bitnami.conf seems weird as it does not contain any certificate info. No modifications were made in httpd.conf. Bitnami diagnostic tool shows following error detected.

Issue resolved. Please close this thread.

I’m glad to hear you managed to solve the issue. As Apache showed in the log file, you had an extra </Directory> line in the configuration file and you needed to remove it or update it with the proper <Directory> block.
