SSL certificate installation using letsencrypt in XAMPP server - xampp

Question

I'm using command:
sudo certbot --apache-ctl /opt/lampp/bin/apachectl
to install the certificate in XAMPP server. However the certificate is installing in the /etc/apache2 location.
How can I repoint to the XAMPP Apache server? The logs is below:

2: Redirect - Make all requests redirect to secure HTTPS access. Choose this for
new sites, or if you're confident your site works on HTTPS. You can undo this
change by editing your web server's configuration.

Answer 1

Modify the locations based upon your installation. I am using the default paths.
Edit the file
Linux: /opt/lampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
Windows: /xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
Locate the section that defines the port 443 listener:
Change this part:
<VirtualHost *:443>
...
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "conf/ssl.crt/server.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "conf/ssl.key/server.key"
To:
<VirtualHost *:443>
...
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "/etc/letsencrypt/live/ploshop.co.in/fullchain.pem"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "/etc/letsencrypt/live/ploshop.co.in/privkey.pem"
Do not forget to restart apache.
