In Ubuntu server 16.04 with LAMP, I had installed Let's encrypt certification follow this [guide](https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-16-04)! However, now the command ```certbot renew --dry-run``` messed up the server and I had to reboot it in order to get back to normal.. So my question is how can I update my certificate? Thanks a lot!

However, now the command certbot renew --dry-run messed up the server and I had to reboot it in order to get back to normal..

So my question is how can I update my certificate?

Thanks a lot!

When you do your renewal dry run, do your apache config files become modified or does it just turn apache off for a moment?

I am not sure if any files were modified. I noticed only that the site was not accessible with an error message like "connection is refused" and then I restarted my entire server.
