this is the code I have at line 261 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf

this is the code I have at line 256 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/apache2.conf

IncludeOptional sites-enabled/*.conf

what's wrong with these lines?

Looks like the issue is with one of the `.conf` files being loaded from within `sites-enabled`, and line 2 specifically

I'm afraid that it is a loop inclusion, you load in loop all *.conf file from site-enabled folder. In the site-enabled folder should have only *.conf with virtualHost which are symlink from sites-available folder created by a2ensite "sitename".

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
