My firebase-hosted app failed to renew cert

My firebase hosted custom domain suddenly started giving me NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID error. My assumption is this is due to a failed certificate renewal. Inspecting the invalid cert, I see it's named "testexp".

Could someone help me get a valid certificate renewal?

My domain is: foreignfield.com

I ran this command: Visit foreignfield.com

It produced this output: NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID (site is inaccessible)

My web server is (include version): unknown

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

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Firebase

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): Firebase

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

That is doubtful, as long as these are your nameservers:

Name Server: NS1.PENDINGRENEWALDELETION.COM
Name Server: NS2.PENDINGRENEWALDELETION.COM

(Your domain name registration is expired and needs to be renewed.)

Welcome to the Let's Encrypt Community! :slightly_smiling_face:

As @linkp was alluding, the domain registration of foreignfield.com with Network Solutions expired two days ago. That will most likely need to be renewed before a certificate for foreignfield.com can be acquired. You might be able to satisfy a DNS-01 challenge to acquire a certificate if you somehow still have control of the DNS zone for foreignfield.com, but I doubt it.

Looks like the domain has gotten an update at 2024-07-13T15:41:12Z (just 6 minutes ago).

And the nameservers currently are set to two worldnic.com nameservers.

That said, the IP address is still the same.

I had already gathered my info. :confused:

That's the price of posting in a real-time world.

Thank you for the prompt response. I just renewed the domain. How long would it be to get a renewed certificate?

WOW! @griffin can change the near past, that truly is Powerful. :laughing:

Network Solutions' own WHOIS is still behind.

I just use whois on my Linux terminal :slight_smile:

Depending on how you're getting your certificates, once DNS is correctly configured again, you should be good to go.

All joking aside :clown_face:, I concur with @Osiris's conclusions. Unless some restoration of DNS configuration is needed due to domain registration expiry, acquiring a cert should now be straightforward.

This is what ICANN is showing.

Thank you all for the tips! The app is hosted in firebase, so I will just wait for the cert auto-renewal.

Cheers!

I don't see any Let's Encrypt cert issued for that domain for almost 4 years.

All recent certs were issued by Google Trust Services.

If that cert doesn't renew you'd probably be better off at a Firebase support forum. They would be more familiar with that system configuration than we would.

From what I’m hearing from some users, the site is back up and running, so I think we’re all good.

Thanks again!
