Certification Renewal Issue

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: lab.addmoreroutes.com

I ran this command: certbot-auto -d lab.addmoreroutes.com

It produced this output:

Please choose whether or not to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS, removing HTTP access.


1: No redirect - Make no further changes to the webserver configuration.
2: Redirect - Make all requests redirect to secure HTTPS access. Choose this for
new sites, or if you’re confident your site works on HTTPS. You can undo this
change by editing your web server’s configuration.

Your existing certificate has been successfully renewed, and the new certificate
has been installed.

The new certificate covers the following domains: https://lab.addmoreroutes.com

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:
    /etc/letsencrypt/live/lab.addmoreroutes.com/fullchain.pem
    Your key file has been saved at:
    /etc/letsencrypt/live/lab.addmoreroutes.com/privkey.pem
    Your cert will expire on 2020-02-02. To obtain a new or tweaked
    version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot-auto
    again with the “certonly” option. To non-interactively renew all
    of your certificates, run “certbot-auto renew”

  • Some rewrite rules copied from
    /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/unetlab.conf were disabled in the vhost
    for your HTTPS site located at
    /etc/apache2/sites-available/unetlab-le-ssl.conf because they have
    the potential to create redirection loops.

My web server is (include version):
N/A or Guacamole/EVE-NG
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
N/A
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):
I SSH
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): 0.39.0

I was trying to issue a renewal and mistakenly hit option #2 and now not able to get to the server locally/remotely using the url address. I can still access the server via root on ip address. How can I restore the configuration to an earlier date/time etc ??

Could you please elaborate on this issue?
Your website is accessible from external IP, but opened with a default page.

If you want to, please share your virtual host configuration files...

Thank you

"unetlab-le-ssl.conf" 24L, 836C

There is no document root statement in either block.
The port 80 block in basically empty.

sorry how do I fix this ?

The easiest way may be to review a default file and change it to fit use your needs.
[cert files, ServerName, DocumentRoot, etc.],

You should find some type of “default file” in /etc/apache2/sites-available/
Otherwise you can also search the web for a ‘default apache vhost config file’.

There is your second topic.
