Help

Hi Guys, have been renewing certs no problems for the past 9 months and just today have some errors whiles trying to do same.

I am running apache on Ubuntu 18.04.03 and have two instances stopstaring.ie and staging.stopstaring.ie

I am running certbot 0.27.0.

When I test renewal using the command: sudo certbot renew --dry-run I get the error below, really appreciate any help you guys can offer.

Thanks -

Mark

It seems you have been running certbot 0.35.1 earlier. Why are you now running certbot 0.27.0? Have you been using certbot-auto perhaps in the past?

Hello Osiris,

Thanks so much for your response.

I ran an update on the certbot modules and this is how it came out.

I ran the apt-update - strange that I now have an older version.

I have only ever used the renew command and don’t recall using certbot-auto.

I am quite an amateur in this particular field - not sure how I can get this back running.

Thanks,

Mark
