lego certificate renewal fails - how to revoke letsencrypt certificate with lego and start over

[tacoma50]

I am trying to renew a cert against the STAGING server like this:

/opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego --tls --email="[email protected]" --server=https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --domains="xyz.com" --path="/opt/bitnami/letsencrypt" renew --days 90 

I am getting this error:

While validating order as a replacement an error occurred :: cannot indicate an order replaces certificate with serial "2b54653073af4b3d54fcb0b4fdf0c8d4ba6c", which already has a replacement order.

A this point I just want to start over with a whole new cert. How do I revoke the current cert using lego and start over by requesting a new cert.

Hello,

you can use the revoke command: https://go-acme.github.io/lego/usage/cli/options/index.html

OK I tried revoke as follows, but what if I don't have the current valid crt file?

/opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/lego --tls --email="[email protected]" --domains="xyz.com" --server=https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory --path="/opt/bitnami/letsencrypt" revoke --reason 0

open /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/certificates/xyz.com.crt: no such file or directory

This means you don't have the certificate locally, so you cannot revoke it.
So you should try to create a certificate.

OK Thanks.
Just curious, is there a way to revoke cert if you no longer have it, but you still have your account for the cert?
