Unable to install Let's Encrypt Certificate

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. crt.sh | 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: oliviergisiger.com

I ran this command: install new certificate

It produced this output: Error in LetsEncrypt::add: An unexpected error occurred:e[0m

Hello,

After installing new aliases, I updated the certificate.
The new aliases were not added.
So I uninstalled the certificate.
I tried to install a new certificate but got timeouts.
I tried again and now I have a too many request error message.
How can I install a new certificate?

With kind regards,

Olivier Gisiger

You should ask whatever support channels exist for Informaniak how to install one of the five identical certificates you've generated in the past week.

Thanks danb35.
I've just bought a new certificate as I have to launch a new website this week-end.
Kind regards,

Glad you have something working - even if purchased. If you wish to try again some day start with looking at your cert history. There is a large number of certs with a variety of (sub)domain names. Most of these certs have just 1 or 2 names. As @danb35 said, you would have to ask Informaniak how to use their Control Panel to create certs the way you need them.

This error is given when there are already 5 perfectly fine certificates issued for that set of hostnames. In the future, you should just use one of those certificates instead of buying a new certificate.
