My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Self-Hosted
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
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version
or certbot-auto --version
if you’re using Certbot): certbot 0.28.0
Above all filled out as requested.
I’ve seen various posts about checking to see if the . throws it off, and it seems to be working fine for me here: http://freehold-in-the-wyld.co.uk/.well-known/acme-challenge/test2.txt
Most of this is really not set up as I’m teaching myself, so I don’t know if I’ve done something wrong. Yes, the link as root goes to the default apache page, that’s something else I’m currently sorting out.
Can someone please help me out with this?
