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: campingtreumal.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache -d campingtreumal.com -d www.campingtreumal.com

It produced this output:

You might want to try using the --webroot -w option with:

with domains:

[DO NOT INCLUDE "*.campingtreumal.com" - that would require DNS authentication]

Or see if you can straighten out the apache config.
Start by reviewing the output of:
apachectl -S

Hi @acabeza

checking your domain the basics are ok - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=campingtreumal.com

But the check of /.well-known/acme-challenge/random-filename - there is a long, very long output.

That's a Symfony:

No route found for "GET /.well-known/acme-challenge/check-your-website-dot-server-daten-dot-de"

Looks like there are additional steps required so your server can handle static files in

/.well-known/acme-challenge

correct. But I don't know how Symfony works.

Hi @rg305,

Thank you for your response.

I’ve remove “*.campingtreumal” as a server alias.

And the output of apachectl -S is:
VirtualHost configuration:
*:80 is a NameVirtualHost
default server campingtreumal.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-ssl.conf:9)
port 80 namevhost campingtreumal.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default-ssl.conf:9)
alias www.campingtreumal.com
port 80 namevhost www.campingtreumal.com (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf:9)
alias campingtreumal.com
wild alias *.campingtreumal.com

I don’t understand what and how I must use the --webroot -w?

Sorry I’m not an expert slight_smile:

thanks for your help and your patience!

Hi JuergenAuer,

Thanks for your response.

It’s possible that these errors are from DNS? I’ve seen symfony code but I see all correct…

Thanks for your help,

The syntax, and your specific path, is:
--webroot -w /var/www/WebTreumal/web
[that would replace the use of --apache]
[you may need to also include certonly if that isn't clear enough to certbot]

So... it would look like:
sudo certbot --webroot -w /var/www/WebTreumal/web -d campingtreumal.com -d www.campingtreumal.com
or
sudo certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/WebTreumal/web -d campingtreumal.com -d www.campingtreumal.com

That's not a DNS problem. That's your server answer.

It's works! thank you rg305!

I've must to reinstall certificate after with: sudo certbot --apache -d campingtreumal.com -d www.campingtreumal.com

Because only with webroot don't redirect all the traffic to https and it didn't works.

But now works perfectly.

Thank you very much rg305 and JuergenAuer for your help and patience. :slight_smile:
