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:
zones.dmcontact.com
I ran this command:
certbot renew --dry-run
It produced this output:
Attempting to renew cert (zones.dmcontact.com) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/zones.dmcontact.com.conf produced an unexpected error: Certbot could not find a block to include challenges in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf… Skipping.
My web server is (include version): nginx version: nginx/1.14.2
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Debian 10.3
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: N/A
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
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version
or certbot-auto --version
if you’re using Certbot): certbot 0.31.0
We’ve been using Certbot for a while now on various machines in our organization, so this one is a bit of a stickler. I can’t even find anything on Google about this error, “Certbot could not find a block”. Can anyone provide some insight into this one?
