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. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

Hi @moji7013, and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

That error seems pretty clear.
Is there another instance of certbot running?

Yes, it tells me that another instance of cert bot is running and I don't know what to do to get the certificate.

You need to find that other instance and finish it OR stop it.

You might have a stray Certbot lock file from a prior run that failed badly

I saw this from google which is a good set of steps to identify what the problem is
