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: portal.dhc.nz
I ran this command:
It produced this output:
My web server is (include version): nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu)
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):ubuntu 18.04.1
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 0.23.0
hello
received an email that updating the software client should suffice. Can you advise please
thanks
Cert not due for renewal, but simulating renewal for dry run
Plugins selected: Authenticator nginx, Installer nginx
Renewing an existing certificate
Attempting to renew cert (portal.dhc.nz) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/portal.dhc.nz.conf produced an unexpected error: urn:ietf:params:acme:error:malformed :: The request message was malformed :: Method not allowed. Skipping.
All renewal attempts failed. The following certs could not be renewed:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/portal.dhc.nz/fullchain.pem (failure)
** DRY RUN: simulating ‘certbot renew’ close to cert expiry
** (The test certificates below have not been saved.)

@mnordhoff asked you to run apt upgrade (without specifying a package name) because Certbot is comprised of many packages. In this case, the specific package upgrade that will solve this for you is for python-acme, but in general, all of the packages Certbot depends on need to be kept up to date.
