Also set up automatic rewrites to https in Cloudflate, remove your web server https redirect (if any), close port 80, and encrypt all the things!

I wasted several hours trying to figure this out only to find it is impossible.

Error while running apachectl configtest.
AH00526: Syntax error on line 85 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file ‘/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt’ does not exist or is empty

because when mod_ssl package is installed, it doesn’t create a self-signed key and certificate files for the localhost, like it should. To solve the error, run:

/usr/libexec/httpd-ssl-gencerts

(Found the solution here: https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/7397)
