Thanks for the input. I've checked out your suggestions (details below) but unfortunately no joy. I also restored my backup 10-ssl.conf. It indeed has the "<" sign with a space before the explicit paths to the files: ssl_cert = </etc/certbot/live/privustech.com/fullchain.pem ssl_key = </etc/certbot/live/privustech.com/privkey.pem
Hi,
the syntax you see in the documentation is mandatory. Your issue is really a permissions problem.
Check your AppArmor setup. The path you use for storing the chained certificate and the private key is certainly not known to AppArmor. See your /var/log/audit/audit.log for indications.

may help.
Btw. permissions setting to 0777, especially for the cert and key, is awful, even for debugging issues.
