Use of server certificate instead of website Let's Encrypt

Not sure what is happening, but a website I am testing with, https://saxofoonkwintet.nl, gives the strange behavior that +50% of the time the server certificate is being loaded in stead of the website certificate, this gives an ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID. I did an update of Apache and Let's Encrypt yesterday morning, not sure if that is part of the problem. On the server are multiple websites still working correctly with Let's Encrypt ssl. Refreshing https://www.digicert.com/help/ gives different certificates.
 
Hello,

Try and see whether or not it helps:

Code:
killall -9 httpd
service httpd start

Wow, looks like that did the trick, keep you posted. I did already an apache restart in DirectAdmin, but that did not gave results.

The "killall -9 httpd" gave the fix.

The service apache start gave as result, "apache: unrecognized service" but thankfully the restart in DA did work!
