          A file name that contains a comma.
          Never seen that before.

          Cut and paste is failing ?

          The "examples" use a dot :

          Edit : and where are the logs ??

              When you activate a manual renewal, by hitting :

              6ef7ba68-dcd2-42a0-a5e2-fc683a499b52-image.png

              does it work ?
              If it didn't, at the end a log file is mentioned, that contains all the "why it didn't work' messages.
              The acme log file ^^

              Btw : don't hit that button to often !! You are not allowed to renew the cert several,times (5 or so per week). Doing it more often and you will be punished (renewal will fail).

                Success! So... why isn't this done automatically? What's the issue?

                  What's the issue?

                  I'll put my bet on : you are - or were - the issue ๐Ÿ˜Š

                  This :

                  7c0860f2-37f0-41dc-b671-013da833db4f-image.png

                  to be read from bottom to top.
                  The auto renewal cron job start.
                  It decides that it is time, as it compares the certificate end date minus the ( 90 days - your "Certificate renewal after" whic is set to '60).
                  If the period lasting is less then (90-60) = 30, then it is

                  Its time to renew ""

                  The issue was here

                  df16ece8-7a2a-484a-b822-77dee40a45bd-image.png

                  I presume that, since you set up two scripts to be executed upon end of renewal, and one of them, the one with a coma in the file name ( that's a good old syntax error ), everything failed. You did probably did get the new certificate, but it wasn't written into the system as there was an error.

                  To be sure all is well now, you don't have to wait for 60 days.
                  The minimal LE grace period is 7 days or so, so set your "Certificate renewal after" to 10 days or so.
                  Now, wait for then days, and then see what happens.
                  By 'see' I mean : inspect the main acme.sh log file, the /tmp/acme/[your-acme-account-name]/acme_issuecert.log
                  I'm pretty sure this time you'll find your renewed cert under System > Certificates > Certificates and as you restart the webgui, you can inspect the certificate right away in your browser, and see the start and end date. The certificate serial number also changed.

                  We'll meet up here over 10 days ? ๐Ÿ˜Š
