The server experienced an internal error :: Error creating new cert

[ndbroadbent]

I have a script that I use to update SSL for two ELBs:

source /opt/letsencrypt/virtualenv/bin/activate

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="******"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="******"
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION="us-east-1"


update_certs() {
    local ELB_NAME="$1"
    local HOST="$2"

    read -d '' LETSENCRYPT_AWS_CONFIG <<EOF
{
    "domains": [
        {
            "elb": {
                "name": "${ELB_NAME}"
            },
            "hosts": ["${HOST}"]
        }
    ],
    "acme_account_key": "file:///opt/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-key.pem"
}
EOF
    export LETSENCRYPT_AWS_CONFIG

    python /opt/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-aws/letsencrypt-aws.py update-certificates
}


update_certs "prod-server-com-elb" "prod.server.com" && \
  update_certs "staging-server-com-elb" "staging.server.com" && \
  curl http://ping.pushmon.com/pushmon/ping/*********

This script has recently started failing with this output:

I've updated letsencrypt-aws to the latest commit (84d56c1), but it's still not working.

I was wondering if you have seen this before, and if you could suggest any workarounds or fixes?

This looks like a bug with letsnecrypt the service.

Strange, yeah looks like they must have fixed something and it's working now. Sorry to bother you!
