Hi all, I am new in security issues, so forgive me for the question! I have an apache server with the port 80 open, if I curl the url it returns the correct html content. The “certbot --apache” procedure ends in an error and I am not able to figure out the problem.
My domain is: bo.cnr.it
I ran this command: certbot --apache
It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator apache, Installer apache
