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: Missionfinder.info
I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache or sudo certbot certonly –apache (i've tried both)
I followed this post (Setting up Letsencrypt for a single Wordpress Multisite installation with many domains? - #3 by tryhardandfails) to set up main and subsite .conf files in /etc/apache2/sites-available from the 000.default.conf file.
Example: for Journey subsite:
<VirtualHost :80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerName journey.missionfinder.info
ServerAdmin webmaster@domain.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g. #LogLevel info ssl:warn
# Add any other necessary settings for your main site
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
</VirtualHost>
It produced this output: Certbot ran successfully. However I could only access the MAIN page for the main site and each subsite. Any other pages resulted in a 404 error.
My web server is (include version): Software: Apache2 (2.4.38)
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Operating System: Debian(10.11)
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Google Cloud Platform VM instance, single "click" install of WordPress (multisite)
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): YES - VM instance SSH
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 Instructions | Certbot I don't know version of Certbot.
NOTE: Because of 404 errors I reinstalled the Website and stopped before running certbot. I believe the problem is in configuring the Main and Subsite .conf files. But it is unclear to me what different commands to use. - BB
