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: easytigger.au
I ran this command: root@lmde5:~# certbot --apache --agree-tos --redirect --hsts --uir --staple-ocsp --email craig@wilkydiney.id.au -d easytigger.au,www.easytigger.au
It produced this output:

What I am trying to do is set up my own server ( it seemed like a fun thing to do) and once I get to the certbot thingy I can't get any further, any suggestions greatly appreciated, Cheers Wilky
