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): win-acme v2.2.9.1701
I have never encountered this error before. I googled the error message and can't find a solution.
ARI is ACME Renewal Information. It tells win-acme when it should renew the cert. That error says win-acme is telling Let's Encrypt that this new cert should replace a previous one. But, that the previous one has already been replaced.
That should not happen. It may be because something went wrong with a prior win-acme run. I'm not sure the proper procedure to reset win-acme and retry but that might be one option. Or, try asking on their github for suggestions.
A better option is to replace win-acme with simple-acme. It is a drop-in replacement for it and is managed by the same person who used to provide main support for win-acme. This will likely be a better supported client going forward.
If the problem persists in simple-acme you will get a reply on their support channel. See: https://simple-acme.com/
I don't have lots of personal experience with either but we see these often enough. Perhaps a different volunteer will have other suggestions. I changed the title to bring attention to it.
If I had known I'd have to wait around for 20 minutes to get a response, I'd have tried another forum Thanks, MikeMcQ. I just downloaded simple-acme and will give that a try.
Thanks,
