Visiting http://omniacloud.org shows the default Apache Ubuntu welcome page.

Is this a brand new server without any website uploaded yet?

If not, there might be a problem with the virtual host setup, which could be confusing Certbot’s Apache plugin. What does this show:

apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS

the command Returns:

VirtualHost configuration:
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server omniacloud.org (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost omniacloud.org (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost Omniacloud.org (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/omniacloud.org.conf:1)
alias www.omniacloud.org

and yes this is a brand new server to setup my teams owncloud server

Ah, yes, this would probably cause the problem you're observing.

I'd suggest trying the following:

  1. Run this to disable the "default" website:

    a2dissite 000-default

  2. Modify /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/omniacloud.org.conf to lowercase your server name. From ServerName Omniacloud.org to ServerName omniacloud.org

and try again:

certbot --apache -d omniacloud.org -d www.omniacloud.org
