Hello,
When I run this command: sudo certbot --apache -d lazsoc.ca -d www.lazsoc.ca
I receive this error:

To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
contain(s) the right IP address.
I’ve scoured the internet for solutions but can’t seem to find any that work. I’m also a relative newbie and am having trouble understanding the system and the problems.

Hello,
It looks like that your site was returning a 500 error and Let’s Encrypt was failing to validate your domain name.
What I could suggest in this case is to check your Apache error log for more information regarding the 500 error:
Once you sort out the error with the information from the logs, then you could try running
certbot
again.Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
