Failing renewal

Well I am either a total Dumba** or your a genius
All I did was remove 'RewriteEngine off' from 'hurricanepub.conf' restart apache, then I tested all works
I did not put the RewriteEngine statement in there so I assumed it had to be ON or OFF as long as Apache dose not put it back.

sudo certbot renew --dry-run

That doesn't follow:

Where each name has its' own vhost.
OR
I just don't understand what you mean by "attached to".

if I look at the certificate for any of those sites it shows all of them as Aquaprographix (wildcard)
I meen look at them from the lock in the web browser I just assumed thats how letsencrypt does it
does that make sence
If you use a browser and go to hurricanepub.com, click on the lock and view the cert

OK.
That just means that you are using one single cert for all your sites.
[one cert can contain up to 100 names]

But the sites themselves are not connected in any way.
Thus, the HTTP challenge request to site X must be satisfied by site X.
