During the process of provisioning a chapters stage server using the Salt master, we encountered an issue related to the startup of the Apache2 service. This issue stemmed from the absence of Let's Encrypt configuration for HTTPS (port 443), resulting in the failure to initiate the Apache2 service.

To address the encountered issue, the propose steps for modification in the Salt configuration file:
Ensure that Apache2 starts with HTTP (port 80) by adjusting the configuration settings appropriately
Implementing these adjustments should help resolve the startup issue and establish a functional Apache2 service with the necessary Let's Encrypt configuration.
