finally got my first success with letsencrypt!
Reporting to user: Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at /etc/letsencrypt/live/jcomeau.com/fullchain.pem. Your cert will expire on 2016-04-02. To obtain a new version of the certificate in the future, simply run Let's Encrypt again.
this was just after a failure, doing it exactly the same way, when it gave me a ":: The server could not connect to the client to verify the domain :: DNS query timed out" error. when my Apache logs showed that in fact, it had connected and gotten the requested information. strange.
not ready for prime time, obviously, but at least now I know it can work when it wants to.
