Hrm, I switched hosting providers between using the two of them. It should be, but I didn't test!

Got the renew email myself yesterday. I really need to look at updating to certbot from doing it all manual.

It's VERY touchy about having your http.conf file(s) all entered correctly. That was my issue the first time I tried to use it on a server at least.

I've not scripted anything with LE yet. This is only the second renew since it was released.

My machine with all the certs is running an Nginx proxy and that was not supported at release.

The first renew, I forgot about and just manually did it the day before it all expired.

I will have to look and see what certbot will try and do with my manual setup prior to actually trying to use it.

I think you and I went over this together and I literally copy and pasted what you gave me, editing as needed for URL's etc. It still didn't work for me. Idk

See what I mean about it being very touchy? I don't even know enough about the httpd .conf files to but muddle through apparently.

I looked up a bunch of different guides. Went through it over and over and over again. Never got it working unfortunately. I never figured out what I was doing wrong unfortunately.

Yeah, the error messages you get from Let's Encrypt are about worthless. Apache was happy with the conf files, why is certbot throwing errors?

I'm really not sure. That is why I wanted to see what @JaredBusch runs into. If it's just me not knowing some key element of it or if it's the actual product.
