I ran this on an identical build last week using the same hardware an a clean install of debian 10 running apache2 and certbot worked. There is no firewall installed and I double checked that it wasn't installed as part of the distro. I can connect to the sites using lynx and firefox. Not sure what else to check..... I would be grateful for any suggestions how to fix this.
My domain is:
chenla.org, chenla.net, chenla.la
I ran this command:
sudo certbot --apache
It produced this output:
$ sudo certbot --apache

Hint: The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary Apache configuration changes made by Certbot. Ensure that the listed domains point to this Apache server and that it is accessible from the internet.
Some challenges have failed.
