I receive a couple of errors trying to install letsencrypt. How to solve?

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Failed to find executable apache2ctl in PATH: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

How would you like to authenticate with the ACME CA?

Failed authorization procedure. xxx1.duckdns.org (tls-sni-01): urn:acme:error:malformed :: The request message was malformed :: Failed to connect to 79.1xxxxxxxx:443 for tls-sni-01 challenge: Server only speaks HTTP, not TLS

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 - The following errors were reported by the server:

   Domain: xxx.duckdns.org
   Type:   malformed
   Detail: Failed to connect to 79.xx.xxx.xxx:443 for tls-sni-01
   challenge: Server only speaks HTTP, not TLS

   To fix these errors, please make sure that you did not provide any
   invalid information to the client, and try running Certbot again.

The error tells you the problem - check that you’ve forwarded port 443 on your router to port 443 on the system running certbot, and that nothing else is listening on that port.
