Help

I'm stuggling to renew my certficate as well via certbot

ERROR:

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: apache). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: jmartinteam.com
Type: connection
Detail: Fetching http://jmartinteam.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/hiddenforsecurity: Timeout during connect (likely firewall problem)

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary Apache configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure that the listed domains point to this Apache server and that it is accessible from the internet.

Opening port 80 fixed it. Thanks!
