Description

Hello,

I found an issue I caused myself somehow during workiing woth Proxymanager.

In the log file, I consistently saw the message: "conflicting server name ******* on [::]:80, ignored." Even after deleting all configurations for this subdomain in the web UI, the message persisted, and Certbot frequently failed.

The root cause was a lingering 1.conf configuration file in redirection_host from an earlier attempt, despite there being no redirection configured in the UI.

To prevent this for other users, I suggest implementing a check to clear configuration files that exist on the filesystem but are no longer present in the database.

Research direction

No source files or tests are named. Start by tracing how the redirection_host configuration and its 1.conf file are created and removed, then compare that with the database state represented in the web UI. Done should prevent filesystem configuration left from an earlier attempt from persisting after the corresponding database entry is removed.
