Certificates Obtained but Not Installed

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better.

My domain is:XXXXXX.org

I ran this command:./certbot-auto certonly --webroot -w /home/XXXXXX/public_html/XXXXXX -d XXXXXX.org

It produced this output:
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/XXXXXX.org.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

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at
    /etc/letsencrypt/live/XXXXXX.org/fullchain.pem. Your cert will
    expire on 2017-06-29. To obtain a new or tweaked version of this
    certificate in the future, simply run certbot-auto again. To
    non-interactively renew all of your certificates, run
    "certbot-auto renew"

My operating system is (include version): XXXXXX

My web server is (include version): XXXXXX

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: XXXXXX (I rent the server and run it myself.)

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

Looks like your server is serving HTTP on port 443, instead of HTTPS.

Note that certbot-auto certonly only obtains a certificate for you; it doesn’t attempt to configure your webserver - use certbot-auto without the certonly parameter if you want it to do so. Or Mozilla’s configuration generator is helpful if you prefer to configure it yourself.

Specifically, I suspect you’re probably missing SSLEngine on or something like that. Post your existing config if you need more help finding where the problem is.

I just wanted to thank you. My server is configured in a rather irregular and custom way, but your suggestion about SSLEngine led me in the right direction. You have saved me a lot of time trying to figure this out!
