Install Lets Encrypt for domain with multiple dots in apache. ubuntu

Help
21

For the other server, I currently do not have login access I will check & confirm.
For current server, I now understood. I initially thought my IP will also be automatically secured via letsencrypt.

Thank you for your prompt response. I really appreciate your help.

I have one last question- I am not able to access my website via alias i.e. for example.com my alias was www.example.com. Is their any change I need to make in my config file?

VirtualHost configuration for current server:
*:443 is a NameVirtualHost
default server example.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-le-ssl.conf:2)
port 443 namevhost example.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-le-ssl.conf:2)
alias www.example.com
port 443 namevhost example.ca.example.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/example.ca.example.com-le-ssl.conf:2)
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server example.ca.example.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/example.ca.example.com.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost example.ca.example.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/example.ca.example.com.conf:1)
port 80 namevhost example.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/example.com.conf:1)
alias www.example.com

example.com and www.example.com are different domain names, you need a certificate for both and you need to tell your webserver to answer for both. (ServerAlias I think)

I do have both domains set up pointing to the same ip address.
Also defined the same in configuration file as a ServerAlias but still its not working.

I didn't installed certificate for www.example.com. I thought it to be alias & only mentioned in the configuration file.
So what do you suggest, shall I expand the certificate for www.example.com & then it should work?

The certificate should contain both domains.

certbot [your options] -d example.com -d www.example.com

Earlier I used below command to install ssl certificate, so shall i add another domain
in below command -d www.example.com, to make it work.

certbot --apache --expand --cert-name example.com -d example.com -d example.ca.example.com

Also, is there any limit to expand the same certificate for the number of domains?

It should work if you add another, same command.

You can have up to 100 domains per certificate.
