Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. My domain is:conference.iai.int I ran this command:certbot-auto renew ## It produced this output:Processing /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/conference.iai.int.conf Cert not yet due for renewal The following certs are not due for renewal yet: /etc/letsencrypt/live/conference.iai.int/fullchain.pem (skipped) No renewals were attempted. My web server is (include version):nginx/1.8.0 The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):debian jessie/sid 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 I received this mail announcing that the certificates would expire. I renewed and it seemed everything went ok. Site shows as not secure. So I went here: [https://dev.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=conference.iai.int&hideResults=on](https://dev.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=conference.iai.int&hideResults=on) and I read there: Valid from Mon, 15 May 2017 17:06:00 UTC Valid until Sun, 13 Aug 2017 17:06:00 UTC (expired 2 days, 21 hours ago) EXPIRED Therefore I treid again certbot-auto renew, that’s when I got the output mentioned above. Still, the site shows as not secure. Last week it was ok and after renewing the certificates I did not check, found out today that site is not secure. Have no clue as to what went wrong. Any ideas?

> [@AlejandroF](#): > > Have no clue as to what went wrong. Any ideas? The certificate that your web server is using, and the certificate that certbot is looking at, aren't the same. This could be because they're just in different places on your server, or it could be because you didn't reload your web server after renewing the certificate. ---

Run `certbot-auto certificates` to see which certificates you have. You might have two or more overlapping Certbot-managed certificates. ---

that’s what certbot-auto certificates says: Found the following certs: Certificate Name: conference.iai.int Domains: conference.iai.int Expiry Date: 2017-11-12 12:20:00+00:00 (VALID: 87 days) Certificate Path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/conference.iai.int/fullchain.pem Private Key Path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/conference.iai.int/privkey.pem So it should be fine… but isn’t. ---

Can you restart your web server application? What web server software are you using? ---

Using nginx. Had already restarted… twice. Nothing happened… have just restarted it a third time… sudo service nginx restart… magic is happened…by the third time it worked. Problem solved. Thanks for your kick in the correct direction. Regards, Alejandro ---
