when I run sudo certbot --apache it asks:
which names would you like to activate HTTPS for
i.e. “ww.myDomain.com” and not “www.myDomain.com”
have checked the .conf files and there is no ww.myDomain.com (possibly previous typo).
should I start again, if so how?
e.g. sudo certbot renew --apache -d myDomain.com -d www.myDomain.com

Heya @fingers,
Try restarting Apache and use certbot again. Also use the command grep -r ww.myDomain.com /etc/apache2/*
and see if you have any hits there.
Hi there,
Certbot will usually automatically pick up all of the ServerName
and ServerAlias
domains defined in the /etc/apache2/
directory.
As it is reporting ww.yourdomain.com
as one of the domains it sounds like that you just have a typo that you need to fix in your virtual host files.
What you could do is check the files in the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
directory and correct the ServerAlias
domain name to be with www
rather than ww
.
After that run a config test with sudo apachectl -t
and if you get Syntax Ok
restart the service:
sudo systemctl restart apache2
After that run the certbot
command again.
Let me know how it goes.

tried grep -r ww.myDomain.com /etc/apache2/* but only www.myDomain.com found (not ww.myDomain.com) in
/etc/apache2/sites-available/your_domain.conf:ServerAlias
/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default-le-ssl.conf:ServerAlias
/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf: ServerAlias
all appears to be ok just when I run sudo certbot --apache it asks:
which names would you like to activate HTTPS for
perhaps it does this for all domains? and is an issue with Digital Ocean or certbot?
