Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: www.joanbaez.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache

It produced this output: Unable to find a virtual host listening on port 80 which is currently needed for Certbot to prove to the CA that you control your domain. Please add a virtual host for port 80.

My web server is (include version): Apache 2.4

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
MacOS 10.12.6

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: NA

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): Direct access to machine.

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): Apple server app 5.3.1

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): 1.5.0

fyi, This machine has 6 IPs associated with 6 different URLs.

Hi @rusty.brains

there

is your job. If you run own servers, you know how to add working port 80 configurations. That's required to create certificates.

Perhaps I wasn’t clear, or the questions were not complete.

There are 6 URLs on port 80 that are virtual hosts served by Apache.
The error msg makes little sense to me.

If there is something about this configuration that you understand and I don’t, please elaborate.
