Hey,

I'm getting the following error when cron runs:
certbot renew --post-hook "service nginx restart"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Processing /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/mydomain.com.conf

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing...

Plugins selected: Authenticator webroot, Installer None

Renewing an existing certificate

Performing the following challenges:

http-01 challenge for mydomain.com

http-01 challenge for www.mydomain.com

Cleaning up challenges

Attempting to renew cert (mydomain.com) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/mydomain.com.conf produced an unexpected error: Missing command line flag or config entry for this setting:

Input the webroot for mydomain.com:. Skipping.

-----------------------------------

Any idea what needs to be done?
Thanks in advance.

So I need to upgrade the current certbot for letsencrypt to work again?
apt-get does not handle it?
by Expert

What I understand of this issue is that your current cert was created with a certbot versión with this bug, maybe now you have an updated versión, so yes, apt-get does the job.

So, reading the link of the oficial Let's Encrypt community, I think you have 2 options:

  1. Delete your current cert and then create a new one.
  2. Edit you cert conf file and add the missing webroot lines.
The first option is really easy with Webinoly!
