TLS (SSL) certificate problem

Maintenance
1

The TLS (SSL) certificate has a problem: The certificate has expired or is not yet valid. It is valid from 2018-05-20 01:01:27 to 2018-08-18 01:01:27.

Has anyone seen this or know how to fix it?

my domain is dannyguest.com and is setup using box.dannyguest.com. I recently upgraded which I think is the issue as its been working flawlessly for years.

Thanks in advance

Got it in my box too.
Certificate has a problem: The certificate is expiring soon: The certificate expires in 2 days on 08/26/18.
Tried to Provision, got:

tried to give cetbot the agree via:

certbot --agree-tos -m MYMAIL@DOMAIN

got:

Certbot doesn’t know how to automatically configure the web server on this system. However, it can still get a certificate for you. Please run “certbot certonly” to do so. You’ll need to manually configure your web server to use the resulting certificate.

Had this same issue, and none of the fixes worked.

I was able to resolve it by manually editing the /root/mailinabox/management/ssl_certificates.py file and adding the following two lines on line 334:

"--agree-tos",
"--email", "you@email.com", # use your email here

So it ends up looking like so:

Save the file and re-run the script using ./ssl_certificates.py

Once the SSL certificate is successfully provisioned, you can remove the two extra lines you added.
