Trying to install LetsEncrypt on ubuntu 16 / apache with Discourse

Posted on June 5, 2017

Hi,

I’ve followed this same tutorial for my dropplet with Wordpress and no problem at all. Now, with Discourse i’m getting a weird error when i give this cmd:

sudo certbot --apache -d example.com

Error while running apache2ctl graceful.
httpd not running, trying to start
Action 'graceful' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.

AH00112: Warning: DocumentRoot [/var/lib/letsencrypt/tls_sni_01_page/] does not exist

Error while running apache2ctl graceful.

Can anyone help me with this. I’m not a server / network guy, so this is like ET language for me.

Thank you in advanced.

Best Carlos
