One of my production servers using greenlock is not automatically renewing its certificate, and I would like to "force" it, and/or figure out what is wrong. Is there an API or method I can call to trigger the renewal?

I'd also like to capture the result, to see what the error is, if any. I can't find any logs for greenlock (the log directory is empty), so I don't know if it has attempted renewal and failed, or simply isn't attempting it at all.

Related, if I use your Manual HTTPS method, does the greenlock.register() method actually re-register the certificate each time it is called? I wonder if I should just call that at startup.

Thanks!

Sorry for the late response.

The best way to force it is to remove the certificate from the file system and restart.

I just did a whole boat load of cleanup, so if you update to v2.7 and switch from using le-store-certbot to le-store-fs ( usage can be seen at https://git.coolaj86.com/coolaj86/greenlock-express.js/src/branch/master/examples/wildcard.js ), I'd be interested to know if that alone fixes it.

If you were using le-store-certbot before (the default), it really sucked at multiple-domains on a single certificate due to legacy code...

The new soon-to-be-default store plugin shouldn't have those problems (and should serve as a much better example for building your own).
