Hello, I had a problem with certbot, a program what automatically renews Lets Encrypt certificates. And it refuses when I wanted to renew by hand, because certbot did try it allready to often.
I did not found what I need using a search engine, other then "there is no way other then to wait 7 days". But there is. What you can do is add an extra name to your DNS, like "www2.abc.nl", make your apache config listen to it, and then create an certificate with an extra name, using "-d www2.abc.nl". Because there is an extra name in the certificate, letsencrypt sees it as another certificate and will register. What I did before, is removing everything from the certificate in /etc/letsencrypt/ and in the apache virthost. Hope this helps! With regards, Paul van der Vlis. For searchengines the whole error: Attempting to renew cert from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/abc.nl.conf produced an unexpected error: urn:acme:error:rateLimited :: There were too many requests of a given type :: Error creating new cert :: Too many certificates already issued for exact set of domains: abc.nl,www.abc.nl. Skipping. I've changed the domain-name. -- Paul van der Vlis Linux systeembeheer Groningen https://www.vandervlis.nl/
