Problems renewing cert, limit hit

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.

We had a cronjob that runs once each day but we had our port 80 blocked by firewall. We unblocked it and re-ran manually the script but it fails with this message.

Please help as this site is in production. Thanks.

My domain is: cellcollector.dauphintelecom.com

I ran this command:./certbot-auto renew

It produced this output:
[root@cell_collector download]# ./certbot-auto renew

IMPORTANT NOTES:

My web server is (include version):apache 2.2.15

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Centos 6.10

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: self hosted

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): no

This could be related to some problems that the Apache plugin encounters with the way CentOS 6 configures Apache by default.

What does this show:

apachectl -S

Many thanks!

I appears it was a misconfiguration introduced in our virtualhost configs. It was very hard to troubleshoot but it is know working again.

I appreciate your help!

Best regards.
