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: solartest.org.uk
I ran this command:
sudo certbot certonly --manual --manual-public-ip-logging-ok --preferred-challenges dns-01 --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory -d "*.solartest.org.uk" -d solartest.org.uk
It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator manual, Installer None
Starting new HTTPS connection (1): acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org
Cert not yet due for renewal
You have an existing certificate that has exactly the same domains or certificate name you requested and isn't close to expiry.
(ref: /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/solartest.org.uk.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): 2
Renewing an existing certificate
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/solartest.org.uk/fullchain.pem
Your key file has been saved at:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/solartest.org.uk/privkey.pem
Your cert will expire on 2021-03-01. To obtain a new or tweaked
version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot
again. To non-interactively renew all of your certificates, run
"certbot renew"

My web server is (include version): nginx/1.12.2
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
centos-release-7-7.1908.0.el7.centos.x86_64
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Linode
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 0.37.2
The problem I have is that I now appear to have a certificate divided into two parts: one called *.solartest.org.uk which expired 01/12/2020, 12:47:56 (Greenwich Mean Time); and one called Let's Encrypt Authority X3, which expires 17/03/2021, 16:40:46 (Greenwich Mean Time).
When I attempt to access this server, with, e.g. demos.solartest.org.uk I get site’s certificate is expired.
I always use the command above to renew the certificate (adding the _acme_challenge token to the DNS TXT Record and waiting 5 minutes TTL).
It appeared to work. But it didn't !?
