I have a number of web sites hosted on my own server, but GoDaddy is the domain provider and DNS for my domain points to GoDaddy, not my server. They actually use a wrapper to wrap my site. In other words, in my GoDaddy setup, I have them forward requests to my personal server. When they do this, they have my site wrapped in an iframe generated on their own site.
I have a Citadel email server installed on my server as well.
Recently, GoDaddy re-assigned my email to Microsoft, which I don't want, but for now, I have no choice. I want to send all email requests to my Citadel server, where I need the certificate to be generated. That is, my web site is essentially brochure-ware, but my main goal, right now, is to get my email self-hosted on my Citadel server.
My domain is: javajoemorgan.com
I ran this command: certbot certonly -d javajoemorgan.com -d mail.javajoemorgan.com
(after this, I really didn't know what to do). I selected '1' for apache server.
It produced this output:
How would you like to authenticate with the ACME CA?
1: Apache Web Server plugin (apache)
2: Spin up a temporary webserver (standalone)
3: Place files in webroot directory (webroot)
Select the appropriate number [1-3] then [enter] (press 'c' to cancel): 1

Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: apache). The Certificate Authority reported these problems:
Domain: mail.javajoemorgan.com

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary Apache configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure that the listed domains point to this Apache server and that it is accessible from the internet.
