Pls see my initial problem with installing the subdomain via below link
After I successfully installed SSL for the subdomain (blockchain.dcwebmakers.com) two months ago, now I can not not renew it. I did run renew command and it renews all of my domain except this one.
I tried below
certbot renew --blockchain.dcwebmakers blockchain.dcwebmakers.com
but it gave error.
Any suggestion?
Can you share the error that it gave?
Just said the follow certs could not be renewed…
/etc/letsencrpt/live/…/fullchain.pem (failure)
checking your domain you have created a new certificate - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=blockchain.dcwebmakers.com
| Issuer | not before | not after | Domain names | LE-Duplicate | next LE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Let's Encrypt Authority X3 | 2019-10-02 | 2019-12-31 | blockchain.dcwebmakers.com - 1 entries | duplicate nr. 1 | |
| Let's Encrypt Authority X3 | 2019-07-30 | 2019-10-28 | blockchain.dcwebmakers.com - 1 entries |
But you don't use it, instead, you use your older certificate:
CN=blockchain.dcwebmakers.com
30.07.2019
28.10.2019
expires in 26 days blockchain.dcwebmakers.com - 1 entry
Your command is wrong. --blockchain... isn't defined. May be you have already a cron job.
Did you restart your webserver? That's required to use the new certificate.
1- I just restarted my services.
2- I did accidentally create the new one. should I remove it and if so how
3- I have cron job but it did not work, so I did it manually. What is correct command line for renewing the old one and removing the new ones…Thx
Now you use the new certificate
CN=blockchain.dcwebmakers.com
02.10.2019
31.12.2019
expires in 90 days blockchain.dcwebmakers.com - 1 entry
so the restart was the missing step.
Why do you want to remove a valid certificate? That's always wrong. Use it 60 - 85 days.
Then check your cron job protocol why it didn't work.
Please: Never remove / delete / revoke valid certificates (if there is no problem with the private key). There is a rate limit. And it's completely unrelevant if you create a new certificate via cron job or via a manual command.
Ok, got it. I leave it as is for now. Thx for your help.
