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: example.com
I ran this command:
certbot -d example.com --apache
It produced this output:
Timeout after connect (your server may be slow or overloaded
My web server is (include version):
Apache/2.4.52 (Ubuntu)
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
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 3.3.0
I received the error message "Timeout after connect (your server may be slow or overloaded)" when running the above command. It takes apache 3-4 minutes to reload on my web server, after getting apache to reload in a 1-2 seconds, the error message goes away.
