Hello DOies,

Following the link below to set up auto renew certificate.

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-14-04

At step 4 when I execute the command 

> certbot-auto renew

command not found.

Can someone direct me from where the command should be executed. I am executing from home directory.

Thank you,
Normalize

Hello,

First you have to install certbot :

Step 1 in https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-14-04

Then you can go back to Step 4 and use certbot-auto renew

    Thank much @romain821d4c16d . I was able renew my certificate. Now I have trouble starting the node js app using pm2. Its because pm2 is unable to take NODE_ENV variable. My server.js is reading ‘env’ variable to pick the appropriate environment logger settings and configuration.

    'env’ is read as 'development’ and which is not what I am looking for. Can you suggest me how to set the environment variable NODE_ENV to 'prod’ once and for all so that whenever I use pm2 start <appname> it should read as 'prod’.

    Look forward to hear from you.

Hi,
I already have the certificate, but it is expired, when I type in the terminal “certbot renew” I get the same error. I’m inside the “certbot” folder ....... can anyone help me if: 1) am I on the right track? if not the correct path, and 2) how do I solve it?

Thank you.
