  • It produced this output on certbot --apache command:
    ================================================

Is the subdomain a standalone virtualhost? What does this show:

apachectl -S

Thanks really much for reply. I certainly new about VPS server managment and settings service indeed. Maybe I’ve ommited something. Again, I apreciate your help.

The output of command suggested is:

That looks okay.

There’s another problem that I did not initiallly notice. Underscores in certificate DNS names were fully banned back in 2018. As a result, are going to have to first rename your subdomain to something like todoya-v3-prod.domiciliostodoya.com.

Once you do that, you should be able to proceed with:

certbot --apache -d todoya-v3-prod.domiciliostodoya.com

Wonderfull!!

That was all the problem. So I just had to rename sudomain name and not use “underscores” indeed. This solved my problem.

Thanks a lot, really thanks!
