SSL Certificate Renew Fails

michiel 2019-02-19 10:36:22 UTC #11

According to the bnsupport information the certificates are in that folder. Can you tell me the output of the following commands:

ls -lah /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/certificates/

And

ls -lah /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/

Could you execute the following command:

sudo /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego --tls --email="my_email" --domains="my_domain" --path="/opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/" renew

Surprisingly, I get the following as response to the command given below:

Response:

You have to pass an account (email address) to the program using --email or -m

Command Executed

sudo /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego --tls --email="myemail@mydomain.me" --domains="www.northeastexplorers.in" --path="/opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/" renew

Hi,

This is weird, could you try using -m instead of --email ?

Best regards,

Doing this returns the following:

You have to pass an account (email address) to the program using --email or -m

michiel 2019-03-05 11:00:30 UTC #22

Hi @hackernewbie,

Could you send a screenshot after running the command? Also, could you run the following command and tell me the output?

sudo /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego --version

Please, click on if you think my answer was helpful

hackernewbie 2019-03-05 16:34:05 UTC #23

Hi Michiel,

The output of the following command:

sudo /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego --tls --m="me@mydomain.me" --domains="www.northeastexplorers.in" --path="/opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/" renew

is:

2019/03/05 16:30:03 You have to pass an account (email address) to the program using --email or -m

The following command:

sudo /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego --version

gives the result given below:

lego version 1.2.1

However, if I run

lego help

it says I am running version 2.2.0 of Lego. The output is as follows:

NAME:
lego - Let's Encrypt client written in Go

USAGE:
lego [global options] command [command options] [arguments...]

VERSION:
2.2.0

michiel 2019-03-06 11:23:35 UTC #24

You are using --m, could you try running the command with --email:

sudo /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego --tls --email="me@mydomain.me" --domains="www.northeastexplorers.in" --path="/opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/" renew

Hi Michiel,

If you see our conversation above, you will see that is exactly what I had done above. I have also shared the response above.

Sharing the command and the response here again:

sudo /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego --tls --email="rajiv@myemail.me" --domains="www.northeastexplorers.in" --path="/opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/" renew

Response

2019/03/07 18:29:40 You have to pass an account (email address) to the program using --email or -m

Can you help me sort this out sooner please, as the certificate will need renewal soon.

jota 2019-03-08 14:38:19 UTC #26

Hi @hackernewbie,

It seems that you have 2 different lego files in your machine. The first one is at /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego and it includes the version 1.2.1 and the other one is in the system's paths and its version is 2.2.0. The --tls option is not available in the version 1.2.1 so you can either run the lego binary inside /opt/bitnami without using the --tls option or use the system's lego to regenerate the certificate.

Option 1:

sudo /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego --email="rajiv@myemail.me" --domains="www.northeastexplorers.in" --path="/opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/" renew

Option 2:

sudo lego --tls --email="rajiv@myemail.me" --domains="www.northeastexplorers.in" --path="/opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/" renew

Let us know if you have any questions

Let's encrypt certificate renewal

I can't renew the LE certificate because it says it is already a valid one

hackernewbie 2019-03-13 06:09:11 UTC #27

Thanks Jota,

I tried the first suggestion and it worked smoothly.

I however, don't know why do I have 2 versions of lego on my system.

Is it ok to have both the versions or should I have just one?

Thanks again!

michiel 2019-03-13 10:08:29 UTC #28

Hi @hackernewbie,

I'm glad to hear it works now. Keeping both versions doesn't matter, but you can safely remove the old one.
