My domain is: more than one ;p
I will attach both below but no I have no tried the dns-01, where can I look up how to switch to this? Searching the docs is really terrible…because there is no search. I will try to search for it in a bit but I was in the middle of a chitstorm when I got that email about needing to renew, when it rains is Tsunami’s…
**update just tried again and it worked in so far as it didn’t say failed due to rate limiting so it’s not the DDoS protection since I disabled it for the test.
My logs show all the requests as fine and hitting port 80 again (wtf is this thing on crack?) Serious all requests 200 but then certbot says connection was refused…
At this rate I’d rather a nice guide on how to wipe certbot/LE clean and start fresh. Part of me things trying things from all the guides and stupid help over the last few months has amounted to cruft or injected problems. Sadly as I said before the docs are horrible. Unless you know what heading something is under you have to fish through everything. Most the simple things aren’t discussed leaving you to hunt the web and try things others have figured out because the docs are deficient with basic things like adding or removing a domain.
**update 2 I just got it to work but seems like a perfect storm of stupidity. I don’t disabled my DDoS and wiped my htaccess just to see and it worked. When I saw all 200’s in my logs but cert bot said denied it made me suspicious but still a serious wtf as now on top of everything I’ve got to figure out what rule is breaking this.
I’ve been doing this chit 40ish years and I’m burnt out, frustrated and sweet jebus I don’t want to support my own issues much less subject poor folks like you guys to guessing at all the zillions of variables and inbetweens that might cause these issues. I need a vacation…or a lobotomy…or a lobotication…
**update 3 thought I had this worked out but I’m testing more and I can’t seem to get any consistency or helpful info from my logs. I have looked up the dns-01 but as previously stated I can’t find anything solid on the LE site so search engine bound which leads me to forums outside this with “do this!” “no do THIS!” ah… the internet…
I ran this command: certbot renew --force-renewal
It produced this output: Attempting to renew cert (m0dw3rks.com) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/m0dw3rks.com.conf produced an unexpected error: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:rateLimited :: There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new order :: too many failed authorizations recently: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/. Skipping.
All renewal attempts failed. The following certs could not be renewed:
