Solution

  • Alright, I think I found out how to do it :

    first I removed certbot using these commands :

    sudo apt-get purge certbotapt
    sudo apt-get purge python-certbot-apache -t jessie-backports
    sudo apt-get purge apache2
    

    then I manually removed files/folders in following :

    then I installed a new fresh instance of apache2 :

    sudo apt-get install apache2
    sudo service apache2 restart
    

    Now things are back to where I was, and I can work on installing personal/local ssl for my project.

    Hope this help you too ;)
