Hi Rudy,

If you had a chance to see…

I ran certbot certonly --dry-run

and got sad response.

after few minutes I ran the same command again and now it is better, but still:

certonly --dry-run

@stored2ship

apache option (plugin) is still a bit buggy?

Yes, and....
What about option #3 ? ? ?

[more than one way to skin a cat]
[also I won't blame the plugin before verifying the config first]
[apache is notoriously lenient and sometimes all too forgiving - it tries to run at any cost]

[stored2ship]

that make sense, Rudy.

whatever works.

Thank you.

[rg305]

Exactly:

@stored2ship

whatever works.

Couldn't have said it better!
