Certbot verification fails

Posted on February 16, 2018

Certbot returns the error:

Unable to find a virtual host listening on port 80 which is currently needed for Certbot to prove to the CA that you control your domain. Please add a virtual host for port 80.

This is after a fresh install. I’m keeping it simple and not using any virtual hosts, etc. Just a few pages in the /var/www/html directory. httpd is enabled and I can access the website in my browser.

What am I doing wrong?
