Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. [https://crt.sh/?q=example.com](https://crt.sh/?q=example.com)), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help. My domain is: [sgainacirsa.ddns.net](http://sgainacirsa.ddns.net) I ran this command: certbot --version certbot 0.14.2 certbot renew --dry-run It produced this output: Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log * * * ## Processing /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/sgainacirsa.ddns.net.conf Cert not due for renewal, but simulating renewal for dry run Renewing an existing certificate Performing the following challenges: tls-sni-01 challenge for [sgainacirsa.ddns.net](http://sgainacirsa.ddns.net) Waiting for verification… Cleaning up challenges * * * ## new certificate deployed with reload of apache server; fullchain is /etc/letsencrypt/live/sgainacirsa.ddns.net/fullchain.pem \*\* DRY RUN: simulating ‘certbot renew’ close to cert expiry \*\* (The test certificates below have not been saved.) Congratulations, all renewals succeeded. The following certs have been renewed: /etc/letsencrypt/live/sgainacirsa.ddns.net/fullchain.pem (success) \*\* DRY RUN: simulating ‘certbot renew’ close to cert expiry \*\* (The test certificates above have not been saved.) My web server is (include version): Apache/2.4.7 The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 14.04 My hosting provider, if applicable, is: I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no Should I update Certbot? Thanks! ---

Hi @panambi first update your certbot. Then > [@panambi](#): > > certbot renew --dry-run add `--preferred-challenges http` to switch to http - validation. Your main configuration ( [sgainacirsa.ddns.net - Make your website better - DNS, redirects, mixed content, certificates](https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=sgainacirsa.ddns.net) ) | Domainname | Http-Status | redirect | Sec. | G | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | • [http://sgainacirsa.ddns.net/](http://sgainacirsa.ddns.net/) | | | | | | 186.137.46.7 | 302 | [SGA - Sistema de Gestión de Amenazas](http://sgainacirsa.ddns.net/cirsa/) | 0.540 | D | | | | | | | | • [SGA - Sistema de Gestión de Amenazas](http://sgainacirsa.ddns.net/cirsa/) | 200 | | 2.406 | H | | | | | | | | • [https://sgainacirsa.ddns.net/](https://sgainacirsa.ddns.net/) | | | | | | 186.137.46.7 | 302 | [SGA - Sistema de Gestión de Amenazas](https://sgainacirsa.ddns.net/cirsa/) | 4.057 | B | | | | | | | | • [SGA - Sistema de Gestión de Amenazas](https://sgainacirsa.ddns.net/cirsa/) | 200 | | 5.363 | B | | | | | | | | • [http://sgainacirsa.ddns.net/.well-known/acme-challenge/check-your-website-dot-server-daten-dot-de](http://sgainacirsa.ddns.net/.well-known/acme-challenge/check-your-website-dot-server-daten-dot-de) | | | | | | 186.137.46.7 | 404 | | 0.540 | A | | No Encontrado | | | | | looks ok, because /.well-known/acme-challenge is there, port 80 is open and there is the expected http status 404 (file not found, because it's a not existing file). ---
