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:sens.wtf
I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache -v
It produced this output:
2024-12-21 20:16:44,564:DEBUG:certbot._internal.display.obj:Notifying user:
Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: apache). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: sens.wtf
Type: unauthorized
Detail: [redacted ip]: Invalid response from http://sens.wtf/.well-known/acme-challenge/2PggW3Ktc2xCVBQq87hBKkcwuqOn5oSXMdc2ZME0MDM: 403

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary Apache configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure that the listed domains point to this Apache server and that it is accessible from the internet.

My web server is (include version): Apache/2.4.52
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS Server with USG profile (cis_level1_server)
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
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): certbot 1.21.0
Hello friends!
I suspect this is because of the overly restrictive permissions set by the USG profile.
When I try to create a file in my /var/www/sens.wtf/ directory.
(ex. sudo touch /var/www/sens.wtf/test.html)
I also get a 403 error when visiting http://sens.wtf/test.html

I have tried running the command umask 0022 to no avail.
Any ideas?
