Certonly "enter a webroot"

Is this at the prompt that says:

Press 1 [enter] to confirm the selection (press 'c' to cancel): 

If so, type 1 and press Enter. Then enter your DocumentRoot.

You can also pass the options through the command line, if you prefer. For example:

./certbot-auto certonly --webroot -w /var/www/mysite.com -d mysite.com
