Error on renew cert: unexpected error: Missing command line flag or config entry for this setting:

Help

whenever i try to renew my domain’s certificate using cerbot I’m faced with an error message.

this a linux server running ubuntu and apache, the certificate was issued by certbot, the server doesn’t have a control panel so everything is done using ssh.

the commandline response with error message at the bottom:

Attempting to parse the version 0.32.0 renewal configuration file found at /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/mydomin.com.conf with version 0.31.0 of Certbot.

This might not work.

Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing...

Hi @pluplu

please share the content of that config file. And your domain name.

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. crt.sh | 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:

I ran this command:

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version):

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

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

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