how to renew an expired "let's encrypt" certificate?

I am "newbie" I installed a "nginx" and "https" with this tutorial: https://www.supinfo.com/articles/single/3558-installer-certificat-ssl-nginx-avec-let-s-encrypt.

my domains worked well and were accessible in https but I turned off my server too long and left the certificate expired.

now I can not renew my certificates because the command line does not work if the certificate has expired how to do it? Thank you

the error message

Attempting to renew cert from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/info.fr.conf produced an unexpected error: Failed authorization procedure. info.fr (http-01): urn:acme:error:connection :: The server could not connect to the client to verify the domain :: Fetching http://info.fr/.well-known/acme-challenge/PwznYVREcdpBsSMDPhP_lp3s1bqbidN83z1lyNXm3Yc: Connection refused.

  1. Remove you letsencrypt folder and try to reinstall certificates like a first time 
 sudo rm -rf /etc/letsencrypt

this is the easiest way

  1. If prev way is not for you:

Comment out all strings that use certificates

Change line listen *:443 ssl; to listen *:80;

Restart nginx

service nginx restart

Try to renew certificates

Again change line listen *:80 to listen *:443 ssl;

Uncomment all lines that use certificates

Restart nginx again
