Hint: Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.

Line 219 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf is as below

And I don't know how to use this information:

Some lines were ellipsized, use -l to show in full.

Any help on this issue will be appreciated.

Ps. I also tried

systemctl status apache2.service

and the output is as follows:

So I tried looking at /sites-enabled/squirrelmail.conf as @steeldriver suggested. Line 21 says:

is there some problem there?

Yeah I am on mobile but remove the # from the line 24 where is the closing tag of VirtulHost
