Apache won't start after installing SSL

I've recently purchased SSL Certificate from GoDaddy and installed it on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS when I enable my website apache doesn't start, when I disable the website, it works fine.

When I restart it says:

See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

What you got in apache error log file when you try to start it with enabled this conf? Maybe you have two the same VirtualHost: "default:443"

I already have two different host i.e. ServerName running with <VirtualHost default:443> and its working perfectly fine.

In your attached log is: [Thu Jan 10 08:30:52.322647 2019] [ssl:info] [pid 11757] AH01887: Init: Initializing (virtual) servers for SSL AH00016: Configuration Failed so, you have something wrong in your configuration. You show us only a part of them.

@mariaczi I've shared complete site configuration file here. And two other hosts with same configuration files are working perfectly fine, I've compared them with WinMerge multiple times.

@mariaczi I've shared complete site configuration file here. And two other hosts with same configuration files are working perfectly fine, I've compared them with WinMerge multiple times.

I've recently purchased SSL Certificate from GoDaddy and installed it on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS when I enable my website apache doesn't start, when I disable the website, it works fine.

When I restart it says:

See "systemctl status apache2.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

What you got in apache error log file when you try to start it with enabled this conf? Maybe you have two the same VirtualHost: "default:443"

@mariaczi I've shared complete site configuration file here. And two other hosts with same configuration files are working perfectly fine, I've compared them with WinMerge multiple times.
