Certificate with cloud hosting

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: coinpos.org

I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache

It produced this output: Select the appropriate number [1-2] then [enter] (press 'c' to cancel): 2
The selected vhost would conflict with other HTTPS VirtualHosts within Apache. Please select another vhost or add S
erverNames to your configuration.
Could not install certificate
NEXT STEPS:

  • The certificate was saved, but could not be installed (installer: apache). After fixing the error shown below, tr
    y installing it again by running:
    certbot install --cert-name coinpos.org
    VirtualHost not able to be selected.
    Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/let
    sencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.

This type of error is caused by overlapping HTTPS virtual hosts in the configuration in your webserver.

Ultimately you need to organize your domains so that they do not overlap.

A good place to get started is to post your current virtual host set up, which you can view by running:

sudo apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS

hello @_az
thank you for replying . After writing the command, I got this result

VirtualHost configuration:
*:80                   coinpos-site-vm.europe-west4-a.c.pro-zone-346321.internal (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-de
fault.conf:1)
*:443                  coinpos-site-vm.europe-west4-a.c.pro-zone-346321.internal (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/wordpr
ess-https.conf:1)

Uh, hmmm.

If you try:

sudo a2dissite wordpress-https
sudo certbot install --cert-name coinpos.org

Does that help?
