Please make sure that your site is pointed to same server on which you are running Let's Encrypt Client

Question

I have easyengine and I don't renewed the certified in 90 days. So I try to renew after this period, and I have errors

Command I run:

ee site update mysite --letsencrypt

ERROR : Cannot RENEW SSL cert !                                                                                                                                                                                                           
Your current cert already EXPIRED ! 

And in the log file, I run:

2017-02-16 13:29:02,070 (ERROR) ee : Check logs for reason `tail /var/log/ee/ee.log` & Try Again!!!

What I can do? I already try to deactivate the certified using

ee site update mysite --letsencrypt=off

And renew after this, using

ee site update mysite --le=renew

JUST FOR TEST, The another error I receive after I removed all of conf of mysite is:

Please make sure that your site is pointed to same server on which you are running Let's Encrypt Client

But in command sudo ee site info, I receive this:

Webroot                  /var/www/mysite 

That is, the 'site' is already pointed to the same server on running client of letsencrypt, and in my nginx.conf I already defined mysite.com and www.mysite.com.

Answer 1

The problem indeed is with one of the Python packages being used by Let's Encrypt, but this error is being just "catched" not leaving that much of a trace.

I was able to renew expired certificates with Easy Engine just by setting the locales:

export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" && export LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
