Hi
I’m pretty desperate here, initial install went ok, certificates are live however when it came time to renew it doesn’t work. I’m going to struggle to try solutions as it’s a live server and this makes it harder to try fixes.
My domain is: www.oxfordonlinepharmacy.co.uk
I ran this command:
Cron Job : cd /etc/letsencrypt/ && ./certbot-auto renew && /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart
When this didn’t work I tried this from the command line: ./certbot-auto renew
It produced this output:
Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing…
Could not choose appropriate plugin: The manual plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: PluginError(‘An authentication script must be provided with --manual-auth-hook when using the manual plugin non-interactively.’,)
Attempting to renew cert (oxfordonlinepharmacy.co.uk) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/oxfordonlinepharmacy.co.uk.conf produced an unexpected error: The manual plugin is not
