Hi,

Can you try to reissue the certificate?

3

Tried to renew after i renew to and tells me ‘certificate not due for renewal’

It’s cert.pem plus chain.pem. Be careful that you don’t change the underlying symlinks in /etc/letsencrypt/live, or Certbot will get confused about the renewal status of your certificate.

i think i fucked this file

root@vorman:/etc/letsencrypt/live/vorman.mooo.com# cat /etc/letsencrypt/archive/vorman.mooo.com/fullchain7.pem
root@vorman:/etc/letsencrypt/live/vorman.mooo.com#

Try copying combined.pem into fullchain7.pem.

If that doesn’t work, check the more detailed error logs that are suggested by the output from lighttpd start.
