Letsencrypt 2 accounts issue

Hello,
when checking the Letsencrypt checkbox, I get an error and no certificate is issued.
First, I receive an email

01.11.2019-21:05 - WARNING - /bin/letsencrypt certificates --domains xxxxxxx.xx --domains www.xxxxxxxxxx.xx

In /etc/letsencrypt/accounts I ended up with 2 accounts(I do not know how!!!). So in letsencrypt log I have

Code:

 File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/certbot/display/ops.py", line 85, in choose_account
    "Please choose an account", labels, force_interactive=True)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/certbot/display/util.py", line 503, in menu
    self._interaction_fail(message, cli_flag, "Choices: " + repr(choices))
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/certbot/display/util.py", line 466, in _interaction_fail
    raise errors.MissingCommandlineFlag(msg)
MissingCommandlineFlag: Missing command line flag or config entry for this setting:
Please choose an account

Even though I temporary move the folder of one account,still the certificate cannot be issued...

Any ideas?

 

Hmm..you mean, informations fot the first account, exist ALSO in the v2 folder?
This is why even though I remove one folder, the certificate is not issuing?

 

Any info about this issue? Why do we have 2 accounts in letsencrypt folder? which is the one in use?

I have the following:
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Feb 12 2019 acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Oct 9 2018 acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/
drwx------ 3 root root 4096 Oct 8 2018 acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/

what should I do?

 

Here the logs:

I moved one of the folder you can see in my previous post (acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org), and I was able to request the certificate.
But now the content of the folder contains again 3 folders, it seems the folder acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org has been re-created so I guess I should delete the "acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org".

yes there was 2 direcrory inside "acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org"

Very helpful post. Especially after updating certbot.

 

HI,
Having same issue, with more than 100 domains - however , if i remove any of those - some domains cannot be renewed

Is there a way of making it use ONLY new v2 account ?

 

Unfortunately this issue will happen again after updating 'certbot'

The 2nd account in /etc/letsencrypt/accounts/acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory/ is just a symlink to the old ACME-V1 account (/etc/letsencrypt/accounts/acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory/<ID>)
