Help with certbot renew

Hello!

I am trying to use certbot renew. The problem I am getting is:

Renewal configuration file /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/panel.nordicbalticbte.net.conf is broken.
The error was: target /etc/letsencrypt/live/panel.nordicbalticbte.net/fullchain1.pem of symlink /etc/letsencrypt/live/panel.nordicbalticbte.net/fullchain.pem does not exist
Skipping.

Im new to this so I really cant find out whats wrong.

Please help me out

certbot version: 1.21.0
Im using putty
Host service is ZAP-hosting
Image is Debian 10

Thanks!

If you wish, contact me on discord: OfficialBIFFFN#1074

Someone or something messed up the symbolic links in /etc/letsencrypt/live/panel.nordicbalticbte.net/. They should be symbolic links to the most recent files in /etc/letsencrypt/archive/panel.nordicbalticbte.net/ .

We can try.

What's the output of the command:

ls -l /etc/letsencrypt/archive/panel.nordicbalticbte.net/cert*.pem

I would widen the "search":
ls -l /etc/letsencrypt/archive/panel.nordicbalticbte.net/

@rg305 I'm currently only interested in the number following either the cert, privkey, chain or fullchain part of those files. Maybe everything is even worse than it seems now, granted, but we'll see about that then.

All of the stuff in the folder is:

cert2.pem  chain2.pem  fullchain2.pem  privkey1.pem

This seems misplaced:

This seems to incorrectly point to another /live/ file (or link):
[and was created 13 seconds after the other files]

Your screen/view seems to have cut off the rest.
