Certbot's standard instructions don't work with Bitnami. In fact, even the first step (installing python-certbot-apache) is likely to cause problems, or at least confusion, since it will pull in Ubuntu's Apache as a dependency alongside Bitnami's Apache which you're presumably already using.

You might have more luck using sudo certbot certonly --webroot but you'll have to update the Apache configuration yourself afterwards to activate HTTPS and point it at your certificate.

If you search this forum for "bitnami" you will see several people have had similar problems and reading about their experiences may be helpful.

Many thanks for your reply. Yes, I have found a number of links to other people who are having similar problems with Bitnami, but none that solve the problem with Bitnami. I will direct my question to them as the instructions on their support page don´t work and need to be updated.
