Confused "installed" and "active" certificates

My installed certificate seems to be OK (see below the dotted line) but when linking to the website the browser shows a bad certificate:
This certificate has expired or is not yet valid
Issued to: sunyulstercs.org
Issued by: Let’s Encrypt Authority X3
Valid from 5/19/2019 to 8/17/2019

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


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: sunyulstercs.org

I ran this command: sudo certbot certificates

It produced this output:
Found the following certs:
Certificate Name: sunyulstercs.org
Domains: sunyulstercs.org www.sunyulstercs.org
Expiry Date: 2019-10-17 01:19:33+00:00 (VALID: 59 days)
Certificate Path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/sunyulstercs.org/fullchain.pem
Private Key Path: /etc/letsencrypt/live/sunyulstercs.org/privkey.pem

My web server is (include version): Server version: Apache/2.4.37 (Unix)
Server built: Dec 8 2018 13:03:18

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 16.04.5

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: AWS Lightsail

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 0.31.0

Hi @thomasol

did you restart your server?

There is a ~~new certificate ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=sunyulstercs.org#ct-logs ):

Issuer not before not after Domain names LE-Duplicate next LE
Let's Encrypt Authority X3 2019-07-18 2019-10-16 sunyulstercs.org, www.sunyulstercs.org
2 entries

But both connections use the expired certificate

CN=sunyulstercs.org
	19.05.2019
	17.08.2019
1 days expired	
sunyulstercs.org, www.sunyulstercs.org - 2 entries

Juergen,

That was it. Thank you very much. I should have thought of that.
