Thank you so much, I am new to this server manage thing. I followed one article and set up successfully a couple of months ago. I did get an email to ask me renew the license a while ago but since I set up as auto renewal so I waited, but the auto-renewal does not happen, and I do not know how to renew manually because all failed so far. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Can you please let me know the commands to clean up the expired license and have a new license? thank you!
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. crt.sh | 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:excelnotes.com
I ran this command:
certbot --nginx --redirect -d excelnotes.com -d www.excelnotes.com -m excelxxxx@gmail.com --agree-tos
It produced this output:
