    Hi formites!

    I wanted to create a new Letsencrypt cert for a website on my ISPConfig server. I've not had any issues until I've upgraded ISPConfig a while ago. In an attempt to fix this issue I've now updated to the latest git-stable release, but still, the problem persists. The server is running Ubuntu 16.04 but I haven't had a reason to upgrade it yet.

    Just a little more info:
    ISPConfig Version: 3.1dev
    certbot version: 0.27.0

    When I select to install a cert on the domain it fails and the log shows:
    Code:

    I also receive two emails that said the following:

    and
    Code:

    Has anybody had this issue and is there a way to fix this?
    Kind regards,
    Riaan

    Your certbot setup has two accounts, you have to delete the new one (which is not used by any certs yet). The old one must be kept as your current certs use it.

    Hi Till,
    You're a ROCKET SCIENTIST !!! Thanks for your incredibly quick and accurate response.
    For anybody that has this issue. In my /etc/letsencrypt/accounts I had:
    Code:
    drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Mar 25 12:07 acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/
    drwx------ 3 root root 4096 May  2  2017 acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/
    drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Sep 17  2019 acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/
    
    I removed the first two and only left the acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org folder. This solved my problem.
    Once again, thank you Till!
    Kind regards,
    Riaan
