My domain is: janesdomain.gay
I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache
It produced this output:
Which names would you like to activate HTTPS for?

Requesting a certificate for phpbb.example.com
An unexpected error occurred:
Error creating new order :: Cannot issue for "phpbb.example.com": The ACME server refuses to issue a certificate for this domain name, because it is forbidden by policy
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.
My web server is (include version): (I'm not sure what to put here, sorry. I'm trying to run a phpbb forum on a local machine)
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS x86_64
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: (N/A, locally hosted)
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): 2.6.0
Sorry if I answered anything incorrectly above, I'll try to elaborate as best I can - this is only my second time ever touching domain names and the first time I've done anything with SLL certs. Basically, I have a local box that I've installed a phpbb forum onto. The forum seems to be working fine, and I've attached my domain to it successfully, so I went to let's encrypt to get a SSL cert set up.
Everything works fine until I run the command to actually create a cert - the only visible choice is "phpbb.example.com", which is definitely not my domain. Running "apachectl -S" returns these results:
VirtualHost configuration:
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server 127.0.1.1 (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost 127.0.1.1 (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost phpbb.example.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/phpbb.conf:1)
I'm stumped on what to do from here, and I'm genuinely unsure where to start troubleshooting - has anyone seen a similar issue to this? Apologies if this question isn't appropriate for the forums here
