Renewal failed: Missing command line flag or config

[wtzr]

My domain is: www.pelvic.pro

I ran this command: sudo certbot renew

It produced this output:

Attempting to renew cert (www.pelvic.pro) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/www.pelvic.pro.conf produced an unexpected error: Missing command line flag or config entry for this setting:

My web server is: Ubuntu

The operating system my web server runs on is: Apache 2

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: digital ocean

I can login to a root shell on my machine:: Yes

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): No

The version of my client is 0.31.0

Apache ctl gives:

VirtualHost configuration:

Websites still runs fine, but I need to renew my certs. (preferably I set this to auto for next time) However, i'm getting above errors. I'm a bit in the dark....

It may has to do with the fact that there is no alias in the virtual host, but I have no clue how to add it there ;), as recommended in this older topic.

Thanks!

Hi @wtzr

@wtzr

The version of my client is 0.31.0

that version is a little bit buggy using webroot. Is there an update possible?

If you have Apache, isn't it possible to use --apache?

Hi Jeurgen,

When I run sudo apt-get install python-cerbot-update i get:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
python-certbot-apache is already the newest version (0.31.0-1+ubuntu18.04.1+certbot+1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 120 not upgraded.

Not sure what you mean with --apache.

I run the comment sudo certbot renew --apache and get:

Another instance of Certbot is already running.

Thanks for your help so far!
