Hello, im trying to create a project and i was following along this Youtube tutorial which i will link here : https://youtu.be/8Uofkq718n8?si=_B34Et_VJBaRYp1h
Everything was going smooth until the end where i have to use certbot to get the cert for my domain. It continues to fail and i feel i am having no luck fixing this issue and its been a couple of days i have been stuck with this.I cant figure out what i am missing. Any help is much appreciated.
My config file looks like this i don't believe im missing anything:
<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port t>
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
Documentroot /var/www/html/wordpress
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ServerName mywpsample.tech
ServerAlias www.mywpsample.tech
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
My domain is: mywpsample.tech
I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache
to try and get a certificate for my site
It produced this output:
Domain: www.mywpsample.tech
Type: unauthorized
Detail: 2a02:4780:b:969:0:9e8:58b8:2: Invalid response from http://www.mywpsample.tech/.well-known/acme-challenge/3UQFhUFz4tUw8V2sf7LLQH6M-RZtOcPj4hChTflR4sg: 404
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.
Some challenges have failed.
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.
this all on apache2
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: hostinger
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):idk
I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):no
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version
or certbot-auto --version
if you're using Certbot):certbot --version.
Im pretty new to this so im sorry if i might have overlooked something really simple, regardless thank you.
