Help

Hello, everybody,

I can’t renew my server certificate anymore. For more than 4 years everything ran without problems.

The problem started with the update of Debian 9 to Debian 10 cause i’d upgraded all my server last month.

Now i have this error during renew:

Hi,

A major OS upgrade like that can cause trouble with certbot-auto, but it shouldn’t be too hard to fix. Just remove the entire directory and try again:

sudo rm -rf /opt/eff.org/certbot/
sudo certbot-auto --version

Your settings and certificates will be preserved, we’re only deleting the parts which are pure software and will automatically get recreated by certbot-auto.
