Hi there,

The certbot CLI picks up the domain names from your Apache virtual hosts.

So it sounds like that you might have a typo in the configuration files at /etc/apache2/sites-enabled.

If this is the case, you can quickly fix that by updating the virtual hosts to use the correct spelling and then running the certbot command again.

Let me know how it goes!

Best,

Bobby

Heya @fingers,

Yes, it should be www rather than ww however I would assume the issue comes from how you’ve specified your domain in Apache’s config.

Check in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ and see in there in the configuration files if by accident you have not let ww.myDomain.net rahter than www.myDomain.net
