My web server Apache 2.4.10

The operating system my web server runs on is: Debian 8

I can login to a root shell on my machine.

I’m using ISPConfig 3.1.6 to manage my site

The version of my client is certbot 0.32.0

Thank you for your time,
Kind Regards!

Hi @kappy

looks like ISPConfig

has an integrated Letsencrypt solution.

So you should use that - not an own Certbot.

Looks like the non-www version is managed by ISPConfig, the www-version has an internal redirect to another port (port 8085).
