Dns error - unable to fix

Hi, I need a hand, I blew up my site, I followed some guides in the network to activate SSL but the site is not reachable despite the certificate is still detected (chrome says that there are too many redirects).
I tried to run the installation with two different commands and in the second case I got an error concerning the dns (I think because you use cloudflare) how can I do to disable everything and go back to normal without the certificates? Thanks a lot in advance for the help

My domain is: mortadella.tk

My web server is (include version): apache2

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): ubuntu 16.04

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): latest version

Hi @WaspEma

you have a direct loop https -> https ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=mortadella.tk ):

Domainname Http-Status redirect Sec. G

104.27.170.62 301 https://mortadella.tk/ 0.070 A

That's not a DNS problem. Check the redirects of your webserver.

But you use Cloudflare, that makes it harder to fix the problem.

So first step: Remove Cloudflare, then recheck your domain, then fix the wrong redirect.

And you have two active certificates:

CertSpotter-Id Issuer not before not after Domain names LE-Duplicate next LE
924902291 CN=Let's Encrypt Authority X3, O=Let's Encrypt, C=US 2019-05-22 02:41:21 2019-08-20 02:41:21 mortadella.tk
1 entries duplicate nr. 2
924817508 CN=Let's Encrypt Authority X3, O=Let's Encrypt, C=US 2019-05-22 01:56:16 2019-08-20 01:56:16 mortadella.tk
1 entries duplicate nr. 1

So certificate creation has worked.

thanks for the information, I will look for a solution, in case you didn’t find it a good method to bring everything back to normal, is there? would be the fastest solution. Thanks so much for your kind attention
