Hello! I run command: sudo certbot --apache -d xxx sitename And result: This log line repeated 12 times all my https pages: Attempting to parse the version 0.24.0 renewal configuration file found at /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/xxxx.conf with version 0.14.2 of Certbot. This might not work. And final log lines are: Obtaining a new certificate Performing the following challenges: Client with the currently selected authenticator does not support any combination of challenges that will satisfy the CA. 1. Do I get new certificate correctly when current certificates end? 2. What should I do to get new certificate to my current http page? I have site http conf file /etc/apache2/sites-available/xxx.conf and symbol link /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/xxx.conf -\> …/sites-available/xxx.conf Yours Timo ---

There seem to be two issues. 1. Your Certbot has somehow downgraded itself from 0.24 to 0.14. Or maybe you used `certbot-auto` previously? 2. Your Certbot is trying to use TLS-SNI, which has been disabled: [IMPORTANT: What you need to know about TLS-SNI validation issues](https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/important-what-you-need-to-know-about-tls-sni-validation-issues/50811) You should be able to solve both problems by just upgrading Certbot back to the current version, you can use the Certbot Ubuntu PPA: [https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/ubuntutrusty-apache](https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/ubuntutrusty-apache) Once you do that, running your command should just work. Using `--apache` should automatically install the certificate to your Apache virtual hosts, and it should also automatically renew. ---

“Or maybe you used certbot-auto previously?” Yes I use certbot-auto. My certbot version has years be 0.14. So I wonder if there something went wrong with current working certificates if I run: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot sudo apt-get update ---

Or maybe there are more than one installation: `find / -name certbot` `which certbot` `find / -name certbot-auto` `which certbot-auto` ---

I run those commands and result is here: I think there is just one installation or do I understand right? root:~# find / -name certbot /usr/share/doc/certbot /usr/bin/certbot /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/certbot /opt/eff.org/certbot /opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/bin/certbot /opt/eff.org/certbot/venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/certbot /etc/cron.d/certbot /home/xxx/.local/share/letsencrypt/bin/certbot /home/xxx/.local/share/letsencrypt/lib/python2.7/site-packages/certbot root:~# which certbot /usr/bin/certbot root:~# find / -name certbot-auto /root/certbot-auto root:~# which certbot-auto root:~# Just one question is my mind. https certificate is new even certbot version has been old long time. So old version certbot-auto works right. I just can get totally new certificate for new site with this old version. So I just run sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade certbot and I can get new certificate for new site? ---

You currently have two installations: - `/root/certbot-auto`, which is a portable version of Certbot that is based on a shell script and upgrades itself automatically. - `certbot`, which is installed from package repositories and upgrades are managed by the package manager. Both installations will use the same certificate and renewal settings from `/etc/letsencrypt`, so you don’t need to worry about that. In the past, you’ve obviously been using `certbot-auto`. I would suggest that you continue to use it for your new certificates, by running `/root/certbot-auto` instead of `certbot`. If you wish, you can switch to `certbot` from package repositories instead, but you need to ensure that you install it from the PPA, as documented, or you will have an old version that might not work so well. ---

So I get new cerificate for new site just sudo certbot-auto --apache -d xxx sitename One question is: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS which i use End of Life date April 2019 So after that I need to update it example Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. To get new certificates. Is that right? Or do certbot-auto get new certificates after that? I just had about one year time to prepare that changes. Or do certbot-auto works correclty after April 2019. This https certificate refreshing is only outside thing in my websites. ---

Certbot will not stop working after April 2019. Ubuntu will stop providing updates after April 2019. Two things: 1. Do you have a cron job to update your certs? if so, show that command. 2. When running certbot-auto it is best to do so from the same directory where it is located (/root/ in your case). ---

In particular, since `certbot-auto` probably won’t be in your `PATH`, you’ll need to specify a directory in the shell, which could be done with something like `sudo /root/certbot-auto` or `cd /root; sudo ./certbot-auto`. ---

> Do you have a cron job to update your certs? if so, show that command. cron job is done: /root/certbot-auto renew --quiet ok so. sudo /root/certbot-auto --apache -d xxx sitename give me new certtificate for new site. ---
