Hi @erikolombardi

Does it give the error, when you’re trying to run this command?

sudo certbot --apache -d yourdomain.com

Have you setup Apache already or are you trying to install Let’s Encrypt on a new installation?

Can you also run this command to list the services listening on the ports:

sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -P

    Hi

    Yes, the error happens when I use this command. It’s a new droplet, and I used Serverpilot to install wordpress

    When I use this command you asked for this appears:

I am facing the same issue here.
So I tried on the command you gave and this is what returned

bitnami@ip-172-31-34-42:~$ sudo lsof -iTCP -sTCP:LISTEN -P
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
sshd 1156 root 3u IPv4 14885 0t0 TCP *:22 (LISTEN)

I am facing the same issue with a Litespeed WordPress server. Your documentation is really poor. This is insane.
