Issue while trying to renew SSL certificate for the first time

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. crt.sh | 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:

I ran this command: ```
certbot certonly --force-renew -d example.com

It produced this output:
Error while running nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t.

nginx: [emerg] dlopen() "/opt/bitnami/nginx/modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.so" failed (/opt/bitnami/nginx/modules/ngx_http_geoip_module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory) in /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/50-mod-http-geoip.conf:1
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
How would you like to authenticate with the ACME CA?

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

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

Hi @Bhavani, and welcome to the LE community forum :slight_smile:

Please don't use "--force-renew".
It never fixes problems.

What shows?:
certbot certificates

Why not use the bncert tool that is specifically for bitnami?
