Help

I was trying to delete the certbot I currently had installed and reinstall it but now I get the error below. I tried to sudo service restart ngix after trying to recreate the configuration file and I get this error
The nginx plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: MisconfigurationError('Error while running nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t.\n\nnginx: [emerg] cannot load certificate "/etc/letsencrypt/live/filehb.tech/fullchain.pem": BIO_new_file() failed (SSL: error:80000002:system library::N o such file or directory:calling fopen(/etc/letsencrypt/live/filehb.tech/fullchain.pem, r) error:10000080:BIO routines::no such file)\nnginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed\n')

Deleting certs is rarely needed to correct a problem. But, since you already started down that road you should review the steps below about Safely Deleting Certificates.

It looks like you have not yet removed the cert file references from nginx. nginx will not start if its config has references to files that don't exist.

Please continue in your previous thread: Accidently Deleted SSL Certifiacte

I don't see any difference or something new in this thread compared to that one. Thanks.
