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.

An unexpected error occurred:
augeas.AugeasValueError: Augeas.insert() failed: No match for path expression
Please see the logfiles in /var/log/letsencrypt for more details.
My web server is (include version):
Apache2 - 2.4.25
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Debian 9
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):
This might be due to a bug in the Augeas lens or perhaps some uncommon format of your Apache configuration. Could you please share the output of apachectl -S? I suspect you'd like to redact some stuff here and there, but please don't redact entire pieces of the configuration, only specific where required in your opinion.
I don't have anything against changing my config however that user guide you just sent potentially outlines the issue I'm having (I didn't even realise it would be an issue which is why I didn't mention it before).
The host I am trying to make a certificate for doesn't have a path because it proxies. Would this be the cause then?
I deleted my current site and remade it, this time with a document root and that worked.
So the issue was related to the host being a proxy and not having a set path. Thanks for the help
