Command returns an empty label error

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: riverspringsranch.org (also using) www.riverspringsranch.org

I ran this command: # certbot certonly --standalone -d riverspringsranch.org, www.riverspringsranch.org

It produced this output: Requested domain is not a FQDN because it contains an empty label.

My web server is (include version): apache-2.4.57

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): FreeBSD-13.2

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: AWS

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): yes

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no - command line only

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): pkg install py39-certbot-apache-2.6.0

Try removing the space between your two domains:
Changing
riverspringsranch.org, www.riverspringsranch.org
to
riverspringsranch.org,www.riverspringsranch.org

OR

  • use quotes around both names
    -d "riverspringsranch.org, www.riverspringsranch.org"

OR

  • use the -d twice:
    -d riverspringsranch.org -d www.riverspringsranch.org
