    That's clarified.
    hostname -f : ok ; but /etc/letsencrypt/live/ns2.domain.tld directory doesn't exist !
    I check ispconfig-setup.log file (I saved output from isp during install)
    Message was clear : challenges failed !
    I missed it and firefox played me : I clean firefox, its message is clear now -> no cert !
    All that for a stupid inattention... Very sorry:(
    Thanks to you, I learn a lot on LE with ISPC and 2ndary servers. Thank you very much

    I am trying to correct my set up.
    I discover that ipsc install created a self-signed cert. when I update, it considers cert already existing.
    I want to remove but not sure which files to remove...
    thank you

    Look under /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl/

    I think you do not need to remove the self-signed certs as it will be renamed by ISPConfig 3.2 while requesting and installing LE SSL certs for the server ISPConfig during update.

    At least I think that was how I coded them before they were further improved.

    The only check is if there was LE SSL certs for the server, they won't be renamed or overwritten, not the self-signed certs.

    However, if the improved code had somehow changed to also not request for LE SSL certs even if there are only self-signed certs, then I consider this as a bug and you do have to remove or rename the self-signed certs before requesting for LE SSL certs during ISPConfig update.

    So please confirm which behaviour that you are currently facing during your ISPConfig update while self-signed certs already existed so a bug report may be filed and the code can be further improved.


    Edited:
    You can delete or rename them at the path mentioned by @Jesse Norell above.

    I now remember that this issue is related to not deleting manually assigned certs to ISPConfig from other SSL certs providers, other than self-signed certs but self-signed certs can be confirmed "openssl verify -CAfile self_signed_cert.pem self_signed_cert.pem" which will return "ok"as mentioned in here.

    I will open an issue on this with the above solution if no one does it earlier.

    Finally, it works !
    I remove isp* files in /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/ssl/
    I update ispconfig.
    restart monit

    I reported this incident at the git so may be this can be discussed by the developers and something can be done about it as IMHO the self-signed certificates (other than paid or free SSL certs like LE) should preferably at least be renamed, if not overwritten.
