Certificate signature failed. If you supplied your own CSR make sure the domains on it match what you put on SSLForFree. If there is a rate limiting error at the end of this paragraph certificates per Domain is currently 5 per 7 days. Try asking Lets Encrypt to increase the limit or wait 7 days. Rate limits should increase in the near future. { “type”: “urn:ietf:params:acme:error:malformed”, “detail”: “Order’s status (“invalid”) is not acceptable for finalization”, “status”: 400 }

My domen: [the-dialogue.com](http://the-dialogue.com)

I tried to get a certificate, but apparently I did something wrong. What should I do? 7 days to wait, long. The site lies, without ssl. Help

You’ve created 5 duplicate certificates today for `the-dialogue.com,www.the-dialogue.com`.

What happened to them?

Do you have still have any of the private keys and the CSRs you used to create them? Did you download any files at all from [sslforfree.com](http://sslforfree.com) ?

I tried to update the certificate automatically using: Cron Jobs.  
Such a command: php acme-client/bin/acme issue --domains [the-dialogue.com](http://the-dialogue.com):www.the-dialogue.com --path /home/x123011738/public\_html:/home/x123011738/public\_html --server letsencrypt

And received such an answer:  
Providing payload at [http://the-dialogue.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/U1JgY-6keK02eFJBP6YDFiSgNVST4jHLnpP6eABaWL8](http://the-dialogue.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/U1JgY-6keK02eFJBP6YDFiSgNVST4jHLnpP6eABaWL8)

[the-dialogue.com](http://the-dialogue.com) is now authorized.  
[www.the-dialogue.com](http://www.the-dialogue.com) is now authorized.  
Requesting certificate …  
Kelunik\Acme\AcmeException: POST request to [https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/new-cert](https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/new-cert) failed, received too many errors (last code: 429). in /home/u667040177/acme-client/vendor/kelunik/acme/lib/AcmeClient.php:259

Apparently I did something wrong.

I decided, then add the certificate through the site: [https://www.sslforfree.com/](https://www.sslforfree.com/)

А дальше вы знаете. Видимо я при обновление получил те сертификаты, но где они я незнаю.

Does your cronjob use `acme check` to guard against pointless renewals? As documented here: [https://github.com/kelunik/acme-client/blob/master/doc/advanced-usage.md#renew-a-certificate](https://github.com/kelunik/acme-client/blob/master/doc/advanced-usage.md#renew-a-certificate)

You can check in acme-client’s `data` directory to see if it managed to save any of the certificates it issued. Or maybe try:

```
acme-client/bin/acme status

```

If it didn’t save any of the certificates, then the only way you’re going to be able to issue another certificate would be to add another domain name to the certificate. For example:

```
-d the-dialogue.com:www.the-dialogue.com:pointless.the-dialogue.com
```

The folder is empty: acme-client.

Now I’ll try your method, an additional domain
