Let's encrypt renewal error

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: flytteliten.nu

I ran this command: sudo ee site update www.flytteliten.nu --letsencrypt=renew

It produced this output: ERROR : Cannot RENEW SSL cert !
Your current cert will expire within 7 days.
Check logs for reason tail /var/log/ee/ee.log & Try Again!!!

My web server is (include version):

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Linux

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

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): Linode with terminal

Are those the only two lines in that log file? Or are there more?

Only those two lines.

How about /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log?

Internal Server Error

Are you aware that www.flytteliten.nu and flytteliten.nu point to different servers?

If you want to be able to issue certificates for both domains, www.flytteliten.nu must at least properly redirect requests to the non-www version of the requested URL, but it doesn’t.

You will probably find that the Apache server on www.flytteliten.nu/195.74.38.120 contains some kind of special route for /.well-known/acme-challenge in its config that is preventing the 301 from happening. You’ll need to disable that route, or better yet, just point both domains to the same IP.
