How to back out of a bad certificate request

I mangled the config for acme-client. I forgot to add request for the .crt. When I rerun acme-client, I get a 400 error now. Will this go away with time?
acme-client.conf:
domain learningunix.net {
alternative names { secure.learningunix.net }
domain key “/etc/ssl/private/learningunix.net.key”
domain certificate “/etc/ssl/learningunix.net.crt”
domain full chain certificate “/etc/ssl/learningunix.net.fullchain.pem”
sign with letsencrypt
}

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), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:
learningunix.net

I ran this command:
acme-client -vv learningunix.net
It produced this output:
It produced pages of output and a 400 error at the end
My web server is (include version):
The httpd included with OpenBSD 6.6
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
OpenBSD 6.6
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
vultr
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
Yes
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): No

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot):acme-client

Hi @jakeroberts

I don't know how that client works.

But you have created a certificate - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=learningunix.net#ct-logs

Issuer not before not after Domain names LE-Duplicate next LE
Let's Encrypt Authority X3 2019-11-03 2020-02-01 learningunix.net

Let's Encrypt Authority X3 2019-04-13 2019-07-12 learningunix.net

Let's Encrypt Authority X3 2018-08-26 2018-11-24 learningunix.net

And there is a

Server: OpenBSD httpd

http server. So only the installation is missing. http works, https is blocked. So learn unix and install the certificate.

Love the IRONY :slight_smile:

But he's still

I know Unix/Linux. I just don’t know web servers very well. Thanks.

I don’t know enough about acme-client to say for certain.
If in a hurry, I would backup the files
blow it away
start over
The cost of a new cert is far less than the time it would take to find a fix.
