Cannot renew my certificate

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), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: type1diabetics.org

I ran this command: sudo certbot-auto certonly -d type1diabetics.org -d www.type1diabetics.org

It produced this output:
owner1@Ubuntu11:/etc/letsencrypt$ sudo certbot-auto certonly -d type1diabetics. org -d www.type1diabetics.org
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Your Apache configuration is seriously misconfigured. See the error message for yourself: http://www.type1diabetics.org/

It even states the reason of the error message.

Also, your HTTPS sites has a redirect loop.

That's because that site-checker has way too much information which often tends to be very cryptic to be actually useful IMHO. Not your fault.

Hi @tombokman

read your output.

https://www.type1diabetics.org:80/

sends content, so your port 80 is a https port, not a http port.

If it's a home server, may be you have a wrong port forwarding

port 80 extern -> port 443 intern.

And you see:

https://www.type1diabetics.org/

works too, so you have a working port 443.

Your check is old, may be you have now created additional errors.
