Cannot renew on Joomla

I try to renew for my domain with Joomla. .htaccess has a www-glue and It is wierd, cause www.mokhin-tech.ru had passed, but mokhin-tech.ru hadn’t passed the verification.

My domain is:
mokhin-tech.ru

I ran this command:
./letsencrypt-auto --apache -d mokhin-tech.ru -d www.mokhin-tech.ru -d downloads.mokhin-tech.ru -d api.mokhin-tech.ru -d update.mokhin-tech.ru -d trollword.mokhin-tech.ru -d autismtest.api.mokhin-tech.ru

It produced this output:

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator apache, Installer apache

Performing the following challenges:
http-01 challenge for mokhin-tech.ru
Waiting for verification...

IMPORTANT NOTES:

   To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
   entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain

My web server is (include version):
Linux 4.4.0-150-generic #176-Ubuntu SMP Wed May 29 18:56:26 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I can login to a root shell on my machine.

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):
0.35.1

Hi @mokhin-denis

if the apache authenticator doesn't work, Certbot doesn't understand your configuration.

You have a lot of domains. Use these domains the same webroot / DocumentRoot?

What says

apachectl -S

Uh - that’s not good.

Every combination of port and domain name should be unique. There are a lot of duplicated definitions.

Make a backup. Then try to cleanup that. Remove . complete. And check the the duplicated definitions so you have to merge these in one file.

Thank you for your advise. Now my apachectl -S shows this:

And I’ve got new certs for all my domains and subdomains!
