Hello, I have a self hosted CentOS 7 server with apache and wordpress. Everything works and it’s set up to work without www so [http://mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com) On my dns i set up a CNAME just to be sure so [www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com) redirect to [mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com) today i ran (WRONG because of www) ./letsencrypt-auto --apache -d [www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com) and select “2” to automatic redirect all traffic to https and i start receive SSL\_ERROR\_BAD\_CERT\_DOMAIN trying to visit my website when i noticed the mistake i run again the correct command ./letsencrypt-auto --apache -d [mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com) without www and tried to revoke and delete the first certificate with the www now i’m in this situation: [http://mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com) redirect to [https://mydomain.com](https://mydomain.com) and works! [https://mydomain.com](https://mydomain.com) works! [http://www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com) redirect to [https://www.mydomain.com](https://www.mydomain.com) and DO NOT WORK [https://www.mydomain.com](https://www.mydomain.com) DO NOT WORK (DO NOT WORK means I receive certificate error, with a “continue anyway” i can see website) Best way to solve this? I don’t wanna destroy server with a wrong command and I’m not an expert so please explain me a bit how to move and where to check Many thanks ---

> [@pcom](#): > > Best way to solve this? Use both hostnames (with and without `www`) on the ./letsencrypt-auto` command to get a certificate with both. You could also have used both certificates separately, but you say you've already deleted the certificate with `www`. ---

Just tried, no success. ./letsencrypt-auto --apache -d [www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com) … … Congratulations! You have successfully enabled [https://www.mydomain.com](https://www.mydomain.com) Now not only the www problem is not solved but even the non-www is broken. I cannot visit my website anymore. ---

You mean ./letsencrypt-auto --apache -d [www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com) [mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com) ? no separator between addresses? ---

> [@pcom](#): > > ./letsencrypt-auto --apache -d [www.mydomain.com](http://www.mydomain.com) [mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com) The command should look like this... `./letsencrypt-auto --apache -d www.mydomain.com -d mydomain.com` Thank you ---

I agree, but the command ``` ./letsencrypt-auto --apache -d www.mydomain.com -d mydomain.com ``` shouldn’t start everything from zero? How to delete every attempt and exceute the command in a clean environment? thanks for your patience guys ---

> [@pcom](#): > > How to delete every attempt If you delete the files ending with `le-ssl.conf` in `/etc/httpd/conf.d/` (backing up the existing files is always a good idea!), you should be able to start "fresh". ---

IT WORKS! i moved the le-ssl.conf and mydomain.conf in another folder, recreate a new conf file for virtual host with port 80 and execute the command. It worked flawless. Many thanks guys ---
