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 ```auto Select the appropriate numbers separated by commas and/or spaces, or leave input blank to select all options shown (Enter 'c' to cancel):3 Starting new HTTPS connection (1): acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org Obtaining a new certificate Performing the following challenges: http-01 challenge for abc.domain.com Select the webroot for abc.domain.com: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: Enter a new webroot ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Press 1 [enter] to confirm the selection (press 'c' to cancel): 1 Input the webroot for abc.domain.com: (Enter 'c' to cancel):/srv/apps/abc/build.webpack/ Waiting for verification...

For the default virtual host (this file) this # value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless. # However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.

For example the # following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only # after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf". #Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf # vim: syntax=apache ts=4 sw=4 sts=4 sr noet ``` 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! ---

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

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? ---

I just migrated the app two days ago. And it seems that the latest version in jessie-backports is 0.10.2 ```auto $ aptitude versions certbot Package certbot: i 0.10.2-1~bpo8+1 jessie-backports 100 Package python-certbot: i A 0.10.2-1~bpo8+1 jessie-backports 100 Package python-certbot-apache: i 0.10.2-1~bpo8+1 jessie-backports 100 Package python-certbot-apache-doc: p 0.10.2-1~bpo8+1 jessie-backports 100 Package python-certbot-doc: p 0.10.2-1~bpo8+1 jessie-backports 100 Package python-certbot-nginx: p 0.10.2-1~bpo8+1 jessie-backports 100 Package python-certbot-nginx-doc: p 0.10.2-1~bpo8+1 jessie-backports 100 ``` ---

> [@jacktang](#): > > Error: should only be one vhost in /etc/apache2/sites-available/abc.domain.conf Currently, we only support configurations with one vhost per file Perhaps the error message is wrong. Are there other configuration files with more then one vHost per file? What says ```nohighlight /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log ``` ---
