Issue with renewing certificate

Hello Let's Encrypt community,

I have following issue with my certificate. I want to renew the expiring certificate, but i get an authorized failure.

1 renew failure(s), 0 parse failure(s)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • The following errors were reported by the server:

    Domain: www.cloud.companyname.de

    To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
    entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
    contain(s) the right IP address.

I didn't change anything in the config file after creating the first certificate. But where is the problem. Thanks in advance!

Hi @Maxi

your domain is www.cloud.meyer.de . But I can't find an older certificate.

https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/certificates?cert_search_auth=&cert_search_cert=&cert_search=include_expired:true;include_subdomains:true;domain:cloud.meyer.de&lu=cert_search

tls-sni-01 is deprecated and can't used with new domain names.

So switch to http-01 - or dns-01 - validation.

So

Hello @JuergenAuer

How can I switch to http-01 - or dns-01 - validation on Linux?

You could run certbot --renew --preferred-challenge http (however that would effective override all renewals on your server, so proceed with caution)

Thank you

Thank you, it worked!
