Problem binding to port 80: Could not bind to IPv4 or IPv6.

I guess that is something to do with Apache and switching it from port 80 to 443 but not sure how to do it and if that is the right thing to do in the first place. Can you advise please ?
Thank you

Stop apache, run the certificate generation and then start apache again. You can also do this with pre and post hook options with certbot or, alternatively, use an apache-specific letsencrypt plugin.
