Add subdomain into existing certificate

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: mrtrobotics.com

I ran this command:

command: certonly --webroot --webroot-path=/var/www/html --email elearning@wemakerobot.com --agree-tos --no-eff-email **--expand** -d mrtrobotics.com -d www.mrtrobotics.com **-d edu.mrtrobotics.com**

It produced this output:

You have this in the port 80 virtualhost for mrtrobotics.com and www.mrtrobotics.com, but it's missing in the port 80 virtualhost for edu.mrtrobotics.com.

Try including it there.

Thank you for your answer

I was actually using proxy_pass before get certificate. I think it was a problem.
and I was missing what you mentioned as well!
