Certbot failed to authenticate some domains

Awesome! This worked!

A few questions before I let this issue rest.

  • What's my process for adding a third or a fourth subdomain? Just create another .conf file along with the others and then run sudo a2ensite sub.charkath.com.conf then run sudo certbot --apache -d "sub.charkath.com,www.sub.charkath.com"?
  • Also will this automatically renew the certificates?

Yep. :slightly_smiling_face:

Remember to run sudo apachectl -k graceful after running a2ensite.

Absolutely. :slightly_smiling_face:


You can remove your compound certificate to keep it from interfering with your renewals if you wish.

Run this and note the name of the certificate to be removed:

sudo certbot certificates

Run this to properly delete a certificate named NAME:

sudo certbot delete --cert-name NAME

You can test your renewals with:

sudo certbot renew --dry-run
