It is saying 'Requested authenticator pache and installer None'

I ran this command:

certbot –apache -w /var/www/html -d www.mydomain.com.au -d mydomain.com.au

It produced this output:

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
The requested pache plugin does not appear to be installed

My web server is (include version):

httpd-2.4.34-3.fc28.x86_64

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

Fedora release 28 (Twenty Eight)

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 0.26.1

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi @digitalrep

is there one ? Must be --apache.

And your command isn't consistent: If you use the apache plugin, -w and the webroot is ignored.

Use webroot instead:

certbot run -a webroot -i apache -w /var/www/html -d example.com

If that doesn't help, update your certbot:

You were right - I was copying it from a word doc and thought it said -apache but it says --apache. Also the command you supplied doesn’t work it always gives me an error that’s why I use the command I used. Thanks for the help :smiley:
