ssl for aws EC2 Flask application

I have registered a free domain name from freenom.com and added nameservers from AWS route53. Now my domain <blabla>.ga successfully redirects to EC2 python flask server. But I really can't figure out how to add ssl by using lets encrypt. I am following the link https://ivopetkov.com/b/let-s-encrypt-on-ec2/ for SLLifying my ec2.after running letsencrypt-auto I add domain names and press enter, then I get 

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-40-218 letsencrypt]$ cd /opt/letsencrypt/
[ec2-user@ip-172-31-40-218 letsencrypt]$ ./letsencrypt-auto
Requesting to rerun ./letsencrypt-auto with root privileges...

Unable to find a virtual host listening on port 80 which is currently needed for Certbot to prove to the CA that you control your domain. Please add a virtual host for port 80.

A similar question is asked here, but I've already done most part explained in both of the answers. Can anyone assist me on what I am missing here ?

try following tutorials:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-14-04

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-a-flask-application-on-an-ubuntu-vps

Make sure that you able to access said web app without https, then try to install SSL. As I can see you are getting following error

Unable to find a virtual host listening on port 80 which is currently needed for Certbot to prove to the CA that you control your domain. Please add a virtual host for port 80.

There must be some configuration issue. Please debug it and let me know.
