I ran this command: https://linode.com/docs/security/ssl/in … tificates/">https://linode.com/docs/security/ssl/install-lets-encrypt-to-create-ssl-certificates/ I run it to the point : CHECK CERTIFICATE DOMAINS where just before I got the error which I posted in the original thread

It produced this output: Instead of Congratulations! (like you see on the link above screen shoot) I got the message :

Problem binding to port 80: Could not bind to IPv4 or IPv6.

My web server is (include version): Apache httpd 2.4.29 ( I believe it is , how do I check it ? Was installing it under the supervision of Pro Developer but now I have to figure it out myself)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Centos 07

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): I am running Wordpress on my site

It can not bind because you already have something (Apache) running on port 80, or because you're running it as non-root.

Stop apache, run the certificate generation and then start apache again. You can also do this with pre and post hook options with certbot or, alternatively, use an apache-specific letsencrypt plugin.

I have tried to install LetsEncrypt in Ubuntu 16.04 and Apache for days… (Yes, I am a newbie, that is not a crime to be punished: bad, partial instructions are!).

Unfortunately this (https://www.linode.com/docs/security/ss … tificates/">https://www.linode.com/docs/security/ssl/install-lets-encrypt-to-create-ssl-certificates/) does not tell all the story: once you install the certificate, you still have to configure the web server (why it is so hard to find out this simple thing in many instruction pages???)

I found these instructions more helpful: https://www.linode.com/docs/security/ss … tificates/">https://www.linode.com/docs/security/ssl/install-lets-encrypt-to-create-ssl-certificates/

To install the LetsEncrypt client, which automates everything for you, this might be helpful: https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/3854. Concerning this post, what worked for me was: sudo apt-get install python-letsencrypt-apache
