Issue creating certificates for new site

Hi there,

I'm having difficulties running certbot on a new DigitalOcean droplet we've created.

My domain is: compuking.datatill.io (46.101.114.210)

I ran this command: certbot certonly -n --agree-tos --authenticator webroot --webroot-path /var/www/html/datatill/ --installer apache -d compuking.datatill.io

It produced this output:

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator webroot, Installer apache
An unexpected error occurred:

My web server is (include version): Apache 2.4.29

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: DigitalOcean

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 0.31.0

I've been trying to replicate the steps on some other posts on this forum, and have gotten the following result:

I'm a little stuck. Does anybody have any advice?

Thanks in advance!

Running certbot now gives me the following:

Update:

Running ifconfig eth0 mtu 1300 found here worked for me!
