Renew is not working

#1

My domain is: admissionschool.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot renew --dry-run

It produced this output:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Processing /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/admissionschool.com.conf

new certificate deployed without reload, fullchain is
/etc/letsencrypt/live/admissionschool.com/fullchain.pem

** DRY RUN: simulating ‘certbot renew’ close to cert expiry
** (The test certificates below have not been saved.)
Congratulations, all renewals succeeded. The following certs have been renewed:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/admissionschool.com/fullchain.pem (success)

Still I am getting SSL error on browser
Plase help me to resolve this
Thanks

Hi,

There are a few things worth noticing:

  1. You used certbot renew --dry-run, which would going to simulate the renewal, but not actually renew the certificate.
  1. You might need to reload your webserver after renewal, see the below quote.

Solution:
Run sudo certbot renew and check if the new certificate is issued and showed up on browsers. If not, you’ll also need to manually reload your webserver.

Thank you
