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](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: [stagging.lavieworld.com](http://stagging.lavieworld.com)

I ran this command: nothing

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version): AWS ec2 server - amazon linux AMI

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

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):No
