Hello everyone! My domain is: scotchandiron.org I ran this command: certbot --apache It produced this output: root@server:~# certbot --apache Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log Which names would you like to activate HTTPS for? ----------------------------------------------…

Hello and thanks for the help, @schoen I did find this and tried to enter the command but it resulted in a failure. Did I perhaps botch the command when changing it for use with Apache2?

I see three possible problems with the command line there: There is no --installer apache2; it’s just called --installer apache. (service apache2 stop and service apache2 start are probably correct, however.) The \ -d is wrong unless there is a line break immediately after the \ character (otherwi…

Ok, I think I’ve modified it correctly. Will this work as a single-line command? certbot --authenticator standalone --installer apache -d scotchandiron.org --pre-hook “service apache2 stop” --post-hook “service apache2 start” And if I want the cert to work for both www and non, would I have to run…

The www version of the name really doesn’t exist at your authoritative nameservers (for example NS2.101DOMAIN.COM). Are you sure that you’ve really created this record?

I successfully created the certs and it’s resolving properly. Thanks very much for all your help. I do have a question though. Since the certbot application can not run without this special command, does this mean that I can’t benefit from the autorenewal feature? Will I have to run this command …

[image] schwim: Since the certbot application can not run without this special command I think that's a misapprehension. When you specify options like these and successfully obtain a certificate, those options are saved in the renewal configuration file under /etc/letsencrypt/renewal, and wil…

You’ve been an incredible help, thanks so much!
