I cant install cert name of my domain name

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. crt.sh | 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: shops4you.net

I ran this command: sudo certbot --nginx -d shops4you.net

It produced this output: Deploying certificate
Could not install certificate

NEXT STEPS:

  • The certificate was saved, but could not be installed (installer: nginx). After fixing the error shown below, try installing it again by running:
    certbot install --cert-name shops4you.net

Could not automatically find a matching server block for shops4you.net. Set the server_name directive to use the Nginx installer.
Ask for help or search for solutions at https://community.letsencrypt.org. See the logfile /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log or re-run Certbot with -v for more details.

My web server is (include version):nginx 1.9.3 Ubuntu

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):ubuntu 20

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: is aws.amazon.com while my domain provider name is hostinger

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

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-auto --version

That seems a bit outdated.

Using this on line tool https://crt.sh/ here is a list of issued certificates crt.sh | shops4you.net, the latest being 2022-12-05. Since you have been issued a certificate no need to get another at this point in time.

Testing and debugging are best done using the Staging Environment as the Rate Limits are much higher. Rate Limits are per week (rolling).

how do i open this closed port? please

The error is describing an issue with your nginx configuration files.

Certbot expects you to have a virtual host in your nginx configuration which looks something like:

server {
  listen 80;
  server_name shops4you.net;

  # ... the rest of the virtual host
}

Certbot is complaining that it can't find a server block with a server_name set matching your requested domain.

If you can post the output of the following command, we can try help you fix the issue:

sudo nginx -T

The closed ports and older nginx version are probably not related to the issue you're experiencing.

There are no vhosts configured.
You must have a working HTTP site before you can secure it via HTTP-01 authentication.
Where is your web site?
