**My domain is:** [podcasts.canstream.co.uk](http://podcasts.canstream.co.uk)
**I ran this command:**
./certbot-auto --apache -d [podcasts.canstream.co.uk](http://podcasts.canstream.co.uk) -d [www.podcasts.canstream.co.uk](http://www.podcasts.canstream.co.uk)
**It produced this output:**
When I test it here:
[https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=podcasts.canstream.co.uk&hideResults=on](https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=podcasts.canstream.co.uk&hideResults=on)
I get: **Certificate name mismatch**
I’m running a bunch of VirtualHosts on this server and the certs for all of them have renewed ok but just this crucial one.
**My web server is (include version):**
Server version: Apache/2.2.15 (Unix)
Server built: Jun 19 2018 15:45:13
**The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):** Centos 6
**My hosting provider, if applicable, is:** me/self-hosted
**I can login to a root shell on my machine:** yes
**The version of my client is:** certbot 0.40.1
These directives are in place in the Apache config file:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/podcasts.canstream.co.uk/cert.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/podcasts.canstream.co.uk/privkey.pem
SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/podcasts.canstream.co.uk/chain.pem
And these files are here:
[root@machine ~]# ls /etc/letsencrypt/live/podcasts.canstream.co.uk/ -la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 48 Nov 7 12:53 cert.pem -\> …/…/archive/podcasts.canstream.co.uk/cert1.pem

Hi @ITCrowd

> **My domain is:** [podcasts.canstream.co.uk](http://podcasts.canstream.co.uk)
there is a check of your domain - 20 minutes old - [https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=podcasts.canstream.co.uk](https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=podcasts.canstream.co.uk)
You have created 4 identical certificates
| Issuer | not before | not after | Domain names | LE-Duplicate | next LE |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Let's Encrypt Authority X3 | 2019-11-07 | 2020-02-05 | [podcasts.canstream.co.uk](http://podcasts.canstream.co.uk), [www.podcasts.canstream.co.uk](http://www.podcasts.canstream.co.uk) - 2 entries | duplicate nr. 4 | |

So that part works, it's **only** an installation problem. Don't create a new certificate.
A
```nohighlight
CN=podcast.commedia.org.uk

04.02.2020
expires in 89 days podcast.commedia.org.uk,
www.podcast.commedia.org.uk - 2 entries
```
is used. Looks like you have different vHosts, so the wrong vHost answers.
What says
```nohighlight
certbot certificates
```
```nohighlight
apachectl -S
```

Many thanks @JuergenAuer.
ok, ./certbot-auto certificates gives me the following:

@JuergenAuer - do you think I ned to expand the certiifcate of a working domain to include that of [podcasts.canstream.co.uk](http://podcasts.canstream.co.uk) ???
Revoke the non-working cert and then expand with somehting like this:
./certbot-auto --expand -d [existing.com](http://existing.com) -d [example.com](http://example.com) -d [newdomain.com](http://newdomain.com)
Thaks in advance.

you see the problem.
You don't have a port 80 vHost with the two domain names you have used in your command. So split that vHost.
Same with your port 443 - there are two vHosts with the same domain name `podcasts.canstream.co.uk`, remove the alias in the long domain name list.
Change that, then again `apachectl -S` to see, if all duplicated entries are removed. Every combination of port and domain name must be unique.
If this is done, try
```nohighlight
./certbot-auto --reinstall -i apache -d podcasts.canstream.co.uk -d www.podcasts.canstream.co.uk
```
Certbot should find the existing certificate and should install it.

Thank you @JuergenAuer - it worked!
I had got in a mess with all the vhosts....
I just needed to delete where the domains had been repeated unnecessarily.
I didn't even need to do the followng in the end:

I hope to be as helpful to someone else as you have been to me today 👍🏾🍻
