Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.
My domain is:
https://pquirk.com
I ran this command:
It produced this output:
My web server is (include version):
Apache/2.4.38 (Raspbian)
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Raspbian Buster Lite 10
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):0.31.0
So I decided to replace my old server with a Raspberry Pi 4. I tried to renew my certificates, but after a couple of failed attempts I got: An unexpected error occurred:
There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new order :: too many certificates already issued for exact set of domains: pquirk.com: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/
So I manually copied over the certificates from my old server, and that seemed to do the trick, but then I tried to set up a subdomain at cloud.pquirk.com, I tried the same trick and manually created the sub-directory for cloud.pquirk.com under /etc/letsencrypt/live and copied the keys over, but that didn’t work, so I tried certbot, and that said “live directory exists for cloud.pquirk.com” and did not work, so I deleted the directory and files I created and tried again which brought me back to the “too many requests of a given type” error and for some reason in that process my keys for pquirk.com stopped working, and all I’m left with is:
Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to pquirk.com. SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length. Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG
I tried copying over the keys again to no avail, and now I have no idea what to try next.
