Domain.com www.domain.com does not exist or is not a directory

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. https://crt.sh/?q=mopixie.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: mopixie.com

I ran this command: ./certbot-auto

It produced this output: Action ‘graceful’ failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

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

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): certbot 1.4.0

There seems to be a problem with your Apache config.
What does this return?:
sudo ./apachectl -S

Also, you have a very "custom" redirection which will break LE authentication requests.
[unless you take proper precaution - but you haven't yet]

When I enter
sudo ./apachectl -S
it returns,
sudo: ./apachectl: command not found

Yes, I am also having this issue to be resolved. I need to point External Ip address to Domain.com.

I am using Google Cloud Bitnami Multisite Wordpress setup.

Here's my external ip address: 34.86.128.151

Here's my domain: mopixie.com

When I open it, by default it re-directs to http://34.86.128.151.xip.io/

I also added external ip address to mopixie.com - DNS - A - record.

But, When I open http://mopixie.com, it is redirecting to http://34.86.128.151.xip.io/wp-signup.php?new=mopixie.com

But it supposed remain as http://mopixie.com.
Please suggest the solution.

You should not be using certbot-auto with Bitnami.
