How should I solve this error?

[saiteja]

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: superboy.co.in

I ran this command: install snapd, and sudo install --classic certbot

It produced this output:

error: cannot perform the following tasks:

• Run configure hook of “certbot” snap if present (run hook “configure”: /var has ‘other’ write 40777)

My web server is (include version):

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): ubuntu 18.04

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: aws

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

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

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

[_az]

What’s the mode of your /var directory?

stat var

It should be 0755.

If it’s 0777, snap is probably refusing to install anything because it’s a dangerous mode.

[saiteja]

it’s in 0777
should I change it to the 0755?

[_az]

Yes, probably.

Do you remember why you changed it to 0777 to begin with?

[saiteja]

I changed it to 0755 and certificate is installed but the https is not working

[_az]

What command did you use to install the certificate?

Hi @saiteja

@saiteja

My domain is: superbly.co.in

that’s not your domain, that domain isn’t registered - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=superbly.co.in

Host	Type	IP-Address	is auth.	∑ Queries	∑ Timeout
superbly.co.in		Name Error	yes	1	0
www.superbly.co.in		Name Error	yes	1	0
*.superbly.co.in	A	Name Error	yes
	AAAA	Name Error	yes
	CNAME	Name Error	yes

No name server, no SOA.

So you can’t create a certificate with that domain name. First - you need a domain name.

Start there:

How It Works - Let's Encrypt - Free SSL/TLS Certificates

Then: Installation of a client is only the first step. You have to use that client = create a certificate.

That was a spelling mistake, it is superboy.co.in
I solved the error and installed the certificate now it is working
Thanks

[saiteja]

Just as a general point, it is better if you use a more informative title on a post.

You could do with having a read of
