Used certbot... want to switch to using webmin/virtualmin to manage letencrypt certs

[JadedDragoon]

My domain is:
annapuma.onsite-crt.com

I ran this command:
No command, it’s the letsencrypt feature of webmin/virtualmin wui.

It produced this output:

.. request failed : Web-based validation failed : The native Let's Encrypt client was used previously on this system, and must be used for all future certificate requests DNS-based validation failed : The native Let's Encrypt client was used previously on this system, and must be used for all future certificate requests

My web server is (include version):
Apache 2.2

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
CentOS 6

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
ebot servers

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
root is disabled, sudo is available.

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
Webmin 1.8 & Virtualmin 6

Does anyone have any idea how to revert whatever changes certbot made to cause this issue? There’s nothing in the documentation about it.

Since the message is from webmin/virtualmin, you should rather get in touch with the developers there. Basically it does not matter which client had been used in the past.

For the record, the solution is to backup your /etc/letsencrypt folder and then delete it. You may also have to clear out any existing certs you have running on your current httpd config to prevent common name conflicts durring the letsencrypt verification process.
