I assume this was an error with the account, since the log says “no account found, attempting to create account”. So i deleted the certificate and tried to create a new one, but now i dont have my certificate anymore, and still receiving the same error. Any ideas?
Btw, the [vitalpbx.com](http://vitalpbx.com) and [helpdesk.vitalpbx.com](http://helpdesk.vitalpbx.com) is down for me, so i cant create a ticket for this issue.
