AWS Bitnami Wordpress Stack Error

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: dextr.cloud

I ran this command: (followed instructions for ssh cert install) All worked right up to last step!

It produced this output:

Hi @DrVoIP

that's an old certificate.

Checking your certificates, it's created 2019-07-03 ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=dextr.cloud#ct-logs ):

What says

apachectl -S

Looks like your configuration is too restricted.

Thank you for the commentary. Let me take another crack at this issue description. This is a bitnami stack for a wordpress site. Bitnami creates their own little world on the server and is generally found in /opt/bitnami/Apache2 and Certbot wants to install stuff in /etc so I am wondering how others have handled this as it relates to creating cron to update the cert on an automated basis. The install took down the sever because of our ignorance and installed the cert someplace that caused a second instance of Apache to run blocking port 80 and the redirect to 443. Took some time to unravel and set the httpd.conf file to point to the cert location created by Certbot. Just looking for input from anyone who has installed on the Bitnami stack. Thnks all.

There are a lot of users with such a configuration.

Looks like you have used a completely wrong command. But your topic doesn't have informations about the certbot command you have used.

Hi @DrVoIP,

Welcome to the community forum!

Have you checked out the Bitnami - Let’s Encrypt integration documentation at https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/how-to/generate-install-lets-encrypt-ssl/ ?

Thank you for the link, very informative!
