Certificate Invalid

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: visuallysweet.com

I ran this command: ./certbot-auto certonly --webroot -w /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/ -d visuallysweet.com -d www.visuallysweet.com

It produced this output: You have an existing certificate that has exactly the same domains or certificate name you requested and isn’t clos
e to expiry.
(ref: /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/visuallysweet.com.conf)
What would you like to do?


1: Keep the existing certificate for now
2: Renew & replace the cert (limit ~5 per 7 days)


Select the appropriate number [1-2] then [enter] (press ‘c’ to cancel):

Can you show us the output of "sudo ./certbot-auto certificates"?

It seems that you have a valid certificate, but your website isn't using it.

?

Where did you install the certificate, or what did you configure to use it? What's terminating TLS for your website? Your own web server? A load balancer? Installed on your server? A managed service?

Whatever it is might simply need to be reloaded or restarted. Or it might be configured with an out-of-date copy of Certbot's files, and whatever process was used to configure it might need to be repeated.

I installed it SSH in Google Cloud Platform here is the produced output :
./certbot-auto has insecure permissions!
To learn how to fix them, visit Certbot-auto deployment best practices
usage:
certbot-auto [SUBCOMMAND] [options] [-d DOMAIN] [-d DOMAIN] ...
Certbot can obtain and install HTTPS/TLS/SSL certificates. By default,
it will attempt to use a webserver both for obtaining and installing the
certificate.
certbot: error: unrecognized arguments: certificate

I’m trying to repeat it but its saying that it already exists and wont let me do the steps again. It’s just Bitnami WordPress that I’m using it with.
