Certificate expired error

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: https://www.sewsewfabrics.co.uk

I’ve tried to install a certificate using Lets Encrypt on Cpanel, but everytime it runs the old expired one gets installed:

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version): Linux

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Kernal is 5.1.17-x86_64-linode128|

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): Not currently

I’m using Cpanel to control my site

I think the issue is probably that whatever third party Varnish plugin you are using is still loading the old certificate rather than the current one. Does it have the ability to reload certificates somehow?

If we visit the same domain over the cPanel port (avoiding Varnish), the renewed certificate is present and working: https://www.sewsewfabrics.co.uk:2083/

I can’t see anywhere where i can reload the certificate in cPanel, here is what i’m getting

I also can’t see Varnish in cPanel but the previous admin might have it installed on the server, i’m trying to get ssh access or the hosting details but its slow going.

That was the problem in the end! Uninstalled and it started working again. Thank you
