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: domain.com
I ran this command: certbot renew --dry-run
Hi @lnb
if you use then nginx authenticator and if that doesn't work, Certbot doesn't understand your config.
What says
nginx -T
nginx: [warn] duplicate MIME type "text/html" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:64
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
I'm not really sure what's going on as everything was automated for quite a while(years) until this month where LE emailed me that my cert is expiring.
Try:
sudo nginx -T
Your /etc/nginx/mime.types file may have been modified from the original and now may includes a duplicate definition.
[hard to read your output corredctly without the three backticks ```]
Try replacing it with these lines (from an original install):

I've also found this entry to be a bit problematic at times:
I would change it to:
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf;
[&2* readers: Get involved; Be heard. It starts with: if you read something you like, then like it ]
Okay, apparently modifying the include line with the .conf; was causing origin error, had to remove it back to default to get the site back to work.
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
Still getting failed authorization with renew --dryrun
hmm...
Please show:
ls -l /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
sudo nginx -T | grep -Ei 'listen|server_name|redirect|rewrite|cert|root|known|location'
[&2* readers: Get involved; Be heard. It starts with: if you read something you like, then like it ]
Just to update, it was because I was using third party nameservers (Ezoic) that caused the failed authorization procedure with certbot. I temporarily reverted to my host's nameservers and certbot successfully renewed my certificate.
