My domain is: https://www.beehaw.org I ran this command: sudo certbot --nginx It produced this output: Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log Error while running nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t. nginx: [emerg] cannot load certificate "/etc/letsencrypt/live/beehaw.org/fullcha…

[image] beehaw: No such file or directory:fopen('/etc/letsencrypt/live/beehaw.org/fullchain.pem','r') It seems the certificate has been deleted. Certificates should never be deleted without also removing the reference in the webserver. See User Guide — Certbot 2.6.0 documentation

[image] beehaw: sudo certbot --nginx That was the first certbot command that I ran on this server. I am trying to get certificates. I haven't deleted anything.

What's the output of certbot certificates? It looks like the certificates are not there. You got at least one certificate today.

Did you perhaps migrate your nginx configuration from somewhere else then? Because that reference to the certificate comes from somewhere I recon.

[image] Giuseppe C.: What's the output of certbot certificates ? No certificates found.

Yes. I did move to a new server.

ok, you need to comment any lines referring to your certificates in your nginx configuration. grep -rHn letsencrypt /etc/nginx (recurse filename linenumber) this means you'll most likely revert to the default snakeoil cert. then, you can run certbot --nginx

I commented out the two lines that referenced letsencrypt. Running certbot --nginx resulted in this: Error while running nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t. nginx: [emerg] no "ssl_certificate" is defined for the "listen ... ssl" directive in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/lemmy.conf:15 nginx: configur…

Yeah, ok. Check if you have /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem and /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key and configure nginx to use them. If you don't have them, you should be able to generate them with generate-default-snakeoil.
