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. [https://crt.sh/?q=example.com](https://crt.sh/?q=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:Nabuhenergy.co.uk I ran this command: It produced this output: My web server is (include version): hosted with AWS 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): AWS I cant find any support links on your site. I cant even find where the last people installed your certificate on the customers server. ---

The certificate expired yesterday: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/letsencrypt/original/3X/9/f/9f004b6530ad437a0a2e2c9587f41c6d596b0154.png) Can you log into the server? ---

Hi, Sorry, I didn’t set this up, all new to me. I think I have created a new certificate, I have two .pem files, which I have created today (twice I think, cos I thought I had done it wrong the first time). Im not sure they are in the right folder however. I have managed to get SSH connection to the server. I think the Webroot folder is /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs but I am not 100% sure. If you have a good website with walkthrough instructions I am happy to follow them. Thanks Steven ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/letsencrypt/original/3X/5/2/52d5f1c08649212fe6768d2cacdcf8df711810d9.jpeg) ---

I think I might have fixed it. Not 100% sure Ive done it correctly however. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/letsencrypt/original/3X/5/2/52d5f1c08649212fe6768d2cacdcf8df711810d9.jpeg) ---

It seems that you figured it out: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/letsencrypt/original/3X/b/6/b6a5869660b26f53bfa43c7c885ef7f77dbf9f74.png) Now you need to figure out how to get it to renew automatically and this will be fixed for good 🙂 ---

Hahaha, Yeah, I think I’m going to leave that part till 11th Jan, then try. Don’t want to break it whilst I’m basking in the glory of fixing it 😝 Thanks for your help though! STeven ---

Congrats on getting your site fixed! Note that Let’s Encrypt certificates are supposed to be renewed 30 days before they expire, so I’d recommend setting a calendar entry for December 17 to remind you to step out of the glory for a moment and set up automatic renewal. 😃 You’ll start getting automatic reminder emails from Let’s Encrypt about 20 days before the certificate expires. ---
