I had a look at /var/log/httpd/error_log and found this:
httpd: could not open error log file /var/www/bree.org.uk/error.log
I rechecked and that file definitely exists and is writable by root
(which httpd runs as). However a suspicion arose and I decided to turn
off SElinux and reload.
And it worked. Not only that, but certbot worked as well:
# httpd -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS
VirtualHost configuration:
*:80 bree.org.uk (/etc/httpd/conf.d/bree.conf:1)
*:443 is a NameVirtualHost
default server bree.org.uk (/etc/httpd/conf.d/bree-le-ssl.conf:2)
port 443 namevhost bree.org.uk (/etc/httpd/conf.d/bree-le-ssl.conf:2)
port 443 namevhost bree.org.uk (/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:56)
I'm well aware that you had mentioned SElinux earlier, and I had
definitely done tests having turned it off, but clearly I missed
something.
I may have caused the problem by changing ownership of some files to
apache:apache without considering their SElinux context. For the time
being I'm keeping setenforce=0 until I can figure this out (suggestions
are of course welcome).
Effusive thanks to the multiple people who chipped in with ideas.
