So I’ve been having problems renewing my letsencrypt certs for awhile. I’ve read the forum and it seems like it could be a DNSSEC + certbot issue however I’m not able to determine what. When I check out my DNSSEC settings on erisignlabs.com/www.rnelnet.com everything is green.
Can someone help out?
Info filled below
My domain is: rnelnet.com
I ran this command: letsencrypt renew -a standalone
It produced this output:
My web server is (include version): apache - I stop the service first
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): CentOS 7
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Ovh
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):yup
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
Here is the full output:
