Hi. I’ve got a problem with certbot certonly --webroot ...
on a certain domain, where I changed the A record to a new server. All browsers are trying to access the domain using the new IP address but certbot
seems to use the old one. This way I am not able to create a new certificate.
Because of that I got blocked for new tries. I wasn’t expecting that.
An unexpected error occurred: There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new order :: too many failed authorizations recently: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/
Why seems certbot
to be the only one how got old DNS information here?
My domain is:
weingut-dr-lawall.de
I ran this command:
certbot certonly --dry-run --webroot --webroot-path /var/www/vhosts/weingut-dr-lawall.de -d weingut-dr-lawall.de -d www.weingut-dr-lawall.de
It produced this output:
