For some reason certbot isn’t running this morning on my server. Any tips?
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: thepowerpowerhousemethod.org
I ran this command: sudo snap start certbot
It produced this output:
- start of [certbot.renew] (# systemctl start snap.certbot.renew.service
Job for snap.certbot.renew.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See “systemctl status snap.certbot.renew.service” and “journalctl -xe” for details.
) - start of [certbot.renew] (exit status 1)
[orca@orcacomputers ~]$ systemctl status snap.certbot.renew.service
