Error: should only be one vhost in abc.domain.conf

Hello,

There are four domain names on my server, and I try to config the third domain name with ssl. I run the command # certbot --authenticator webroot --installer apache and it prints output

I’ve checked many times, there is ONLY one vhost in the conf file.
My OS is debian 8 and certbot 0.10.2. There is no problem on debian 9 or ubuntu. How can I fix the problem? Thanks!

Hi @jacktang

is this

the standard Apache configuration? Or is this the file there?

@JuergenAuer It is the sub-domain conf file. I’ve update it in the original post.

Isn't your certbot too old? If Debian 9 doesn't have that problem?

Yes, I’ve configured the same four domain names on debian 9 and ubuntu. We migrate the app to another cloud vendor and there is no debian 9 in the new cloud platform. I checked the version of certbot on ubuntu, the version is 0.26.1 How can I upgrade certbot on debian 8?

Checking there:

https://certbot.eff.org/docs/install.html#operating-system-packages

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install certbot python-certbot-apache

should do the job.

I just migrated the app two days ago. And it seems that the latest version in jessie-backports is 0.10.2

Perhaps the error message is wrong. Are there other configuration files with more then one vHost per file?
