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](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: [tiimster.com](http://tiimster.com)

I ran this command:  
/opt/letsencrypt# certbot-auto renew

It produced this output:

you use the apache-authenticator. That creates a temporary location definition in another directory. Looks like there is no access to read that directory.

Run Certbot with the -vvv flag to find that directory. Then create it (if it doesn't exist) and add the permissions.

Or find your webroot (DocumentRoot in your vHost) of your https vHost, then use that - [https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=tiimster.com](https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=tiimster.com)

http + /.well-known/acme-challenge/random-filename is redirected to https, so you must use your https DocumentRoot.

```nohighlight
certbot run -a webroot -i apache -w yourDocumentRoot -d tiimster.com -d www.tiimster.com

```

Now you have a certificate only with the non-www domain name. So your existing www version has the wrong certificate.

Thanks for your answer,

First, you said : "Run Certbot with the -vvv flag to find that directory"  
I'm a simple developer and I'm not comfortable with server managing.  
So, could you explain in details the syntax of the certbot command for finding that temporary directory's location

Second, here's my virtual host's file. Is there anything to change.  
  
\<VirtualHost \*:443\>

```
  # NOM & ADMIN
  ServerName tiimster.com
  ServerAdmin (masked)

  # EMPLACEMENT
  DocumentRoot /var/www/tiimster.com

  <Directory />
     Order Deny,Allow
     Deny from all
     Options -Indexes -Includes -ExecCGI -FollowSymlinks
  </Directory>

  <Directory /var/www/*>
     Order allow,deny
     Allow from all
     AllowOverride All
     Options -Indexes -Includes -ExecCGI +FollowSymlinks
  </Directory>

  # ERROR LOGS
  ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/tiimster.com-error.log
  CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/tiimster.com-access.log combined

  # REDIRECTION - Les lignes commentées sont générées par letsencrypt

There

> [@mowebius](#):

is your DocumentRoot. So use it.

And read

[https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html](https://certbot.eff.org/docs/using.html)

to see the command line options you can use.

Thx again,  
Last question : If problem not solve, is it possible to revoke certificate before making a new demand
