Hello,

The guide that you are following is for Cerbot and Apache, however from the error that you’ve shared, it looks like that you are using Nginx.

In this case, you should follow these steps here:

In this tutorial, we will show you how to use Let's Encrypt to obtain a free SSL certificate and use it with Nginx on Ubuntu 16.04. We will also show you how to automatically renew your SSL certificate. If you're running a different web server, simply follow your web server's documentation to learn how to use the certificate with your setup.
