I tried to renew manually but it seems that the certbot cronjob probably messed up, running twice a day and not managing to actually renew the certs.
Now I am getting a too many certificates issued, even when trying to re-generate from scratch. What can I do to create a new certificate from scratch?
My domain is: www.avoravo.com
I ran this command: certbot renew
It produced this output: Too many certificates issued
My web server is (include version): Server version: Apache/2.4.29
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu bionic
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): 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 (e.g. output of certbot --version
or certbot-auto --version
if you’re using Certbot): certbot 0.31.0
Hi,
Apologize but there’s no way you can manually reset rate limit.
Check your redirects http - https, your preferred version (www vs. non-www), certificates, connections and your html-content. A ranking system shows, if your domain is A+ (no errors + preload), has errors (https - http) or loops.
According to the website, your next certificate available to issue is on / after Feb 22.
Do you still have procession of the certificate you issued recently? What’s the output of sudo certbot certificates
?
Thank you

Welcome to the community!
It looks like you have successfully issued a LOT of certificates ( https://crt.sh/?q=%.avoravo.com ). Check the commands requested by @stevenzhu because these certs should be in your certbot directory tree.
Hi @jerdimitriou
the check of your domain says - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=avoravo.com
You have http over port 443 -> Grade Q.

And there is the standard Apache page.
Visible Content: Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page It works!
So easiest solution.
List your config
apachectl -S
then deactivate that wrong vHost, then let Certbot create a new correct port 443 vHost:
certbot --reinstall -i apache -d www.avoravo.com
Certbot should find a new certificate and should create the correct vHost.
PS: If you have deleted all certificates, you have to wait. There is no non-www ip address, so you can't create one certificate with both domain names.
Hi @stevenzhu ,
Wow! Just saw the list. Why is it like that? The cronjob is the following:
SHELL=/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
0 */12 * * * root test -x /usr/bin/certbot -a \! -d /run/systemd/system && perl -e 'sleep int(rand(43200))' && certbot -q renew
Unfortunately the output of `sudo certbot certificates is:
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
No certs found.
I tried certbot delete and certbot certonly hoping that it would fix this.
