Getting error while generating le cert

Hello, I have some troubles while generating LE cert. If I tick a LE generate certificate option in ISPConfig, ISPConfig unsuccessfully tries to generate cert.

Certbot is installed on the server, and generating certificates fine, if I run "certbot certonly" command. Acme.sh is not installed.

Do you have please any tips, whats going wrong? Thank you.

which has also info on failing LE cert creation.
Note that issuing certbot commands on the command line makes a mess of the certificate setup ISPConfig created, and it stops working until fixed.

You may have created two (or several) Let's Encrypt accounts, and should remove the extra accounts so only one remains.

 

Hello, yes, thank you, it was caused by duplicate LE account.
