While installing ssl certificate getting error

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:admin.hcm.cssindiaonline.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot --apache -d admin.hcm.cssindiaonline.com

It produced this output:

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator apache, Installer apache
Obtaining a new certificate
An unexpected error occurred:
There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new order :: too many certificates already issued for exact set of domains: admin.hcm.cssindiaonline.com: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/
Please see the logfiles in /var/log/letsencrypt for more details.

My web server is (include version): Apache/2.4.29

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): ubuntu 18.04

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: one and one

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): yes

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): certbot 0.31.0

The error is accurate.
There were five certs created just a few days ago: https://crt.sh/?q=admin.hcm.cssindiaonline.com

You need to switch to the test environment and to troubleshoot your problem and until you resolve it don't use the production system for testing.

If you run into problems while testing, feel free to add your posts to this topic.

Do you know how to use the testing/staging system? (do you any need help with that?)
Do you still have any of those five certs you could use (instead of getting a new one)?

Hi Team,

In order to use the testing/staging environment, just change that to:
sudo certbot --apache -d admin.hcm.cssindiaonline.com --staging

It should replicate the production system and issue a FAKE cert on completion.
If you can't get the FAKE cert, then you have problems that must be fixed.
Once you are able to obtain a FAKE cert you can then remove the --staging flag and redo the command against production to obtain a real cert.
