i am trying to install lets encrypt but with no success. i get the following error:
Keeping the existing certificate Could not reverse map the HTTPS VirtualHost to the original
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Unable to install the certificate
- Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at: /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.deals4u.co.il/fullchain.pem Your key file has been saved at: /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.deals4u.co.il/privkey.pem Your cert will expire on 2018-05-19. To obtain a new or tweaked version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot again with the “certonly” option. To non-interactively renew all of your certificates, run “certbot renew”
my conf file looks like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName deals4u
ServerAlias www.deals4u.co.il
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
<Directory /var/www/html/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

Hi, it sounds like you’re renewing the certificate without having it installed on Apache first. Did you run sudo certbot --apache -d deals4u.co.il when you first tried to install Certbot?
Also, ServerName needs to be set to deal4u.co.il
i set the servername to deals4u.co.il than i run: sudo certbot --apache -d deals4u.co.il
still no success with the message i get:
What would you like to do?
1: Attempt to reinstall this existing certificate 2: Renew & replace the cert (limit ~5 per 7 days)
Select the appropriate number [1-2] then [enter] (press ‘c’ to cancel): 1 Keeping the existing certificate Could not reverse map the HTTPS VirtualHost to the original
