Ssl Not working on "www"

Help
1

My domain is:tanmayplywood.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html -d www.tanmayplywood.com -d tanmayplywood.com

It produced this output: You have an existing certificate that has exactly the same domains or certificate name you requested and isn't close to expiry.
(ref: /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/www.tanmayplywood.com.conf)

My web server is (include version): Apache

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Centos 7

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: AWS

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): YES i can

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):CWP7

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 wrote

"certbot certificates"

and i found this reply,

Found the following certs:

On PC if i write www.tanmayplywood.com it redirects to tanmayplywood.com and no errors are seen.
but when i open "www.tanmayplywood.com on phone it shows “this connection is not private”

Hi @yohaan

that may be a cached result, so you don't really see / check the www-version.

But checking your domain the www version isn't secure ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=tanmayplywood.com ):

Domainname Http-Status redirect Sec. G
• http://tanmayplywood.com/
13.234.228.103 301 https://tanmayplywood.com/ 0.250 A
• http://www.tanmayplywood.com/
13.234.228.103 301 https://www.tanmayplywood.com/ 0.270 A
• https://tanmayplywood.com/
13.234.228.103 200 1.723 B
• https://www.tanmayplywood.com/
13.234.228.103 200 1.373 N
Certificate error: RemoteCertificateNameMismatch

But: The non-www version has the wrong certificate:

CN=tanmayplywood.com
	26.04.2019
	25.07.2019
expires in 73 days	tanmayplywood.com - 1 entry

Looks like you don't have a ServerAlias.

ServerName tanmayplywood.com
ServerAlias www.tanmayplywood.com

Add the alias to both vHosts.

Then change the SSLCertificateFile + key line to your other certificate:

Certificate Path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.tanmayplywood.com/fullchain.pem
Private Key Path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.tanmayplywood.com/privkey.pem

and restart your server.

That's one of your configuration file, the SSL version.

Open it and add / change the lines. Save it and restart your server.

You are awesome..!!! Thanks a ton. IT WORKED :star_struck::star_struck::star_struck:
i love that you replied within few mins and i was in this problem from weeks.

I would like to know what did i do wrong while using certbot .
What should i do.

This below mentioned way i installed SSL .

yum -y install yum-utils

sudo yum install certbot python2-certbot-apache

In cpanel change webserver to “ngnix & apache” . and back to “apache only”

This will make the root folder from usr/local/apache/htdocs to var/www/html because previous folder is not accesible by cerbot or freessl to verify the server

sudo certbot certonly --webroot -w /var/www/html -d www.tanmayplywood.com -d tanmayplywood.com

Sudo certbot
