The requested apache plugin does not appear to be installed

I cant install apache plugin

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:
honeymails.com
I ran this command:
certbot --apache
dnf install certbot python3-certbot-apache
certbotplugins

It produced this output:

#dnf install certbot python3-certbot-apache
dnf install certbot python3-certbot-apache

Hi @felloz, and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

I would follow the recommended installation instructions:
Certbot Instructions | Certbot (eff.org)

It looks like you have two versions of certbot installed :frowning:
