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: postfixadmin.aptagrim.co

I ran this command: certbot

It produced this output: Challenge failed for domain postfixadmin.aptagrim.co
http-01 challenge for postfixadmin.aptagrim.co
Cleaning up challenges
Some challenges have failed.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

My web server is (include version): ubuntu 20.

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

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): 0.40.0

results of
sudo apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS
VirtualHost configuration:
*:443 aptagrim.co (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/postfixadmin.aptagrim.co-le-ssl.conf:1)
*:80 aptagrim.co (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/postfixadmin.aptagrim.co.conf:1)
*:8081 aptagrim.co (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/postfixapi.conf:1)

thanks

Can you post the contents of this file? Please add 3 backticks before and after so we do not lose important tags like
```

```

Also, your Certbot 0.40 is very old. With Ubuntu 20 you should be able to install the snap version to get to version 2.6. Just follow these instructions carefully

Must be removed from this config file. Certs are not used in port 80 VirtualHosts

Yeah :man_shrugging: And actually messier than it was before since I'd already noted better info existed here. Probably better if you'd just closed the original.
