Renewals failing

There’s extraneous stuff in the cron job, which runs as root, but the action line is this:

 ../certbot-auto -v --apache renew >> renew.log

Here’s the conf file

renew_before_expiry = 30 days

version = 0.27.1
archive_dir = /etc/letsencrypt/archive/www.boardspace.net
cert = /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.boardspace.net/cert.pem
privkey = /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.boardspace.net/privkey.pem
chain = /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.boardspace.net/chain.pem
fullchain = /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.boardspace.net/fullchain.pem

Options used in the renewal process

[renewalparams]
authenticator = apache
installer = apache
account = f12f2787322263e15c409190710c9595
server = https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory

Here’s a sample from the log file’s daily run.
