I removed everything with my domain in it, and now I’ll wait until I can request another certificate. (I backed up the whole folder first, just in case! Sometimes, I’ll learn from my mistakes 🕶 )
Thank you so much for the help so far!

I can’t seem to connect, though. I’ll restart my router (had to reenable ports) and the pi.

Yeah, I had to press a button to let dietpi restart the services 😃 Everything is working as intended now.
Thank you so much for your help!

Hi,
I have a similar issue. Every time I request a certificate, lighttpd does not start anymore after the certificate was fetched.
When I delete the letsencrypt folder and delete the symlinks as described above, it starts again.
Happens again if I request another certificate.

Any idea guys?
Thanks and regards
Hyper

I don’t think so as this issue is 2 years old. Better to look into a topic from yesterday. [Lighttpd fails after renewing letsencrypt - #6 by Jappe](https://dietpi.com/forum/t/lighttpd-fails-after-renewing-letsencrypt/17510/6)
