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.
My domain is:safmobile.nairobiwater.co.ke
I ran this command: /usr/bin/certbot certonly --webroot --webroot-path /opt/glassfish4/glassfish/domains/domain1/docroot --cert-name safmobile.nairobiwater.co.ke -d safmobile.nairobiwater.co.ke
It produced this output:
