[Letsencrypt-devel] Bug#834989: Cronjob fails when apache is running

[Andrey Rahmatullin]

Package: certbot
Version: 0.8.1-2
Severity: important

/etc/cron.d/certbot contains just "certbot -q renew" which cannot work when
apache is working. When I run certbot renew manually it says:

The program apache2 (process ID 6265) is already listening on TCP port 80. This
will prevent us from binding to that port. Please stop the apache2 program
temporarily and then try again. For automated renewal, you may want to use a
script that stops and starts your webserver. You can find an example at
https://letsencrypt.org/howitworks/#writing-your-own-renewal-script.
Alternatively you can use the webroot plugin to renew without needing to stop
and start your webserver.
