Error when renewing certificate - cert revoked

My domain is: goto50.ai

Following on from this morning’s email to force renewal of the certificate I had to do a couple of things to fix the deployment I’d previously done - I had copied the certs from another box and so hadn’t actually run certbot to renew certificates on this new box. I revoked the certificate in the process certbot revoke --cert-path /path/to/cert which may have been a mistake - I then ran the set up code again for certonly

sudo certbot certonly --webroot -w /path/to/webroot -d goto50.ai -d www.goto50.ai and it succeeded - then as per the email ran sudo certbot renew --force-renewal which also appeared to succeed, output is:

new certificate deployed without reload, fullchain is

Congratulations, all renewals succeeded. The following certs have been renewed:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/goto50.ai/fullchain.pem (success)


The problem is that the certifcate is still coming up in my browser as revoked - making me think that something has gone wrong. Have I broken this irretrievably. I appreciate any help you can offer.

Other information

My web server is (include version):
Nginx (version: nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu))

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Ubuntu 18.04

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): certbot 0.27.0

Hi @filtoid

if you use certonly, you have to install the certificate. Minimal a webserver restart is required.

If you “sudo systemctl reload nginx”, does that fix it?

What does “sudo certbot certificates” show?

Is Nginx configured to use the correct certificate?

Of course - thanks. I’ve done this literally every other time I’ve used it and forgot this time.

Thanks all. :slight_smile:
