Certbot failed to authenticate some domains (authenticator: apache). Failed to verify the temporary Apache configuration changes

Am trying getting ssl certificate using letsencrypt and certbot with apache on my Ubuntu server for mydomain.com am getting the error using command sudo certbot --apache -d mydomain.com am getting error

The Certificate Authority failed to verify the temporary Apache configuration changes made by Certbot.

i tried tried to update sudo apt update then sudo apt install certbot and run again sudo certbot --apache -d mydomain.com still i got the same error.

i solved this by use the command

sudo certbot certonly --manual --preferred-challenges=dns -d mydomain.com

where by i added TXT records on dns configuration for verification and waited till i verified my records are saved via

https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/dig/#TXT/_acme-challenge.mydomain.com

do not forget to replace mydomain.com with you respect domain
