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. https://crt.sh/?q=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:
julieenglandart.com
I ran this command:
sudo letsencrypt certonly -a webroot --webroot-path /var/www/julieenglandart.com/wordpress -d www.julieenglandart.com -d julieenglandart.com
I’ve used this command many, many times to create ssl certificates. Can’t figure out why this one isn’t working!
It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
