Acme.sh - Cannot renew using dns manual mode

Hi community,

I cannot renew using acme.sh and dns manual after doing:

  1. acme.sh --issue --dns example.com -d soporte.example.com -d mail.example.com
  2. update txt records by hand
  3. acme.sh --debug 2 --renew --dns -d example.com

Below is my debug log:

(replaced the true domain by example.com)

Please could you help me?

Thanks in advance!

Looks like it’s trying and failing to use a standalone method of verification instead of the DNS method you specified.

@Neilpang can you help them? Thanks.

Hi Guys,

I’m sorry, but it’s just fixed.

please try again with the latest code.

acme.sh --upgrade

I’ve got the same problem happening with 2.7.3, installed and updated today.

I’m not sure what changed, but I tried it again today and it worked.

Same trouble. Any benefit answer? :face_with_thermometer:

@instasafari If you are using acme.sh with the --dns flag and are getting an error with a debug log ending with ncat usage, please file an issue so this problem can be looked into further. Be sure and include your complete debug log in case the root cause has changed.

If you are not using the --dns flag or get a different error, please start a new thread in the Help section and answer all the questions in the template so we can examine your issue further. You may be experiencing a different problem.
