Cert renewal via cronjob no longer working - Timeout

Hallo,

my auto-renewal is no longer working with no changes made. Any help is appreciated. :slight_smile:

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better.

My domain is: nc.schildbusch.de

I ran this command: sudo /etc/letsencrypt/letsencrypt-auto certonly --agree-tos --renew-by-default -a webroot --webroot-path /var/www/nextcloud/ -d nc.schildbusch.de

It produced this output:
1.
An unexpected error occurred:
ReadTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org’, port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=45)

My web server is (include version): Server version: Apache/2.4.10 (Raspbian)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): “Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)”

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
Dynamic DNS via spdns
DNS hosted at 1&1.de
Raspberry/webservice hosted at my home

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no

I’m getting exactly the same error, running Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu) on ubuntu 16.04LTS on chunkhost… running “certbot renew”.

Hi @schildbusch, you are advertising an IPv4 address, 87.171.76.89, and an IPv6 address, 2003:c3:fbbf:b32:ca0e:14ff:fedd:839b. Your site is reachable on the IPv4 address and not on the IPv6 address. That’s the reason for this timeout.

@zhoujianfu, I can’t check whether the same thing is true for you without knowing your domain name, but that might be something to look at.

Thanks @schoen! I removed the IPv6 from my dynDNS provider, however now I am still running into an error…:

To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain contain(s) the right IP address. Additionally, please check that your computer has a publicly routable IP address and that no firewalls are preventing the server from communicating with the client. If you’re using the webroot plugin, you should also verify that you are serving files from the webroot path you provided.

I can’t connect to http://nc.schildbusch.de/ at all in a web browser—can you?

@schoen: Yes, I can. It is redirecting to https://nc.schildbusch.de (nextcloud)

I just found that 7 minutes after trying the cert renewal I can see the following GET request in my apache logs:

87.171.75.202 - - [18/Jul/2017:21:12:18 +0200] “GET /.well-known/acme-challenge/asWmfwn-4ENzcPJuNyOWEgEzy_allYayOmlpxlvK2Rc HTTP/1.1” 404 4389 “-” “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0”

Well, I think there’s a firewall problem or something—when you access it in the web browser, are you accessing it from the same network or a different network?

I still can’t access it at all and I assume that the CA is having the same problem that I am.

@schoen: I just tried from an external network by tethering with my mobile, site is still reachable from my side. maybe a DNS timing issue…I will try again later then.

I don’t think it’s DNS-related. I’m trying 87.171.75.202 by IP address and can’t connect. (That’s the same address that the CA saw.)

@schoen: The IP is correct and also working for me. Site is loading. Very strange....

My setup is as follows: nc.schildbusch.de forwards to schildbusch.spdns.de which is my dyndns address.

When I try to connect, I am seeing ICMP error 13, which we just learned today in another thread on this forum is a sign of a firewall blocking the connection. That firewall could be on your device, or your router, or your ISP, but there’s a firewall somewhere that’s refusing these connections, at least from some origins.

@schoen: I do not know if this makes any sense… :slight_smile:

I just player around with the firewall on my router and opened port 80, forwarded it to my server. Running the renewal now produces the follwing result:

Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at
/etc/letsencrypt/live/nc.schildbusch.de/fullchain.pem. Your cert
will expire on 2017-10-16.

But when loading https://nc.schildbusch.de the certificate used still expires on 04 Aug

You should make sure that your web server is configured to use this certificate and not a different, prior one (since certonly doesn’t make any changes to your web server configuration). You should also make sure that your web server was restarted or reloaded its configuration (since certonly also doesn’t do that).

@schoen: Thanks for your help for now. After restarting apache the new cert is taken. Will have to investigate until October why it wasn’t working the way it used to.

How long had you been doing it sans restarting Apache?

My renewal script stops httpd, does all the renewals, then restarts Apache
