When I run the following: sudo certbot --apache -d mydomain.com -d www.mydomain.com
I get the following output: Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log Plugins selected: Authenticator apache, Installer apache Cert not yet due for renewal
You have an existing certificate that has exactly the same domains or certificate name you requested and isn’t close to expiry. (ref: /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/mydomain.com.conf)
What would you like to do?

Hey, @damianyates
Can you check if the saved SSL’s fullchain in /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.com/fullchain.pem
is the one you need?
If that is correct you can copy the files to the directory where your Apache conf SSL block is checking against.
