Certbot acme challenge error: __autoload() is deprecated

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:
ppooe.at
I ran this command:
certbot --apache -d ppooe.at -d www.ppooe.at

It produced this output:
Performing the following challenges:
http-01 challenge for ppooe.at

Hi @sil

looks like your configuration has some errors ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=ppooe.at ):

There are ipv4 and ipv6 addresses:

Host T IP-Address is auth. ∑ Queries ∑ Timeout
ppooe.at A 80.243.168.87 yes 1 0
AAAA 2a01:488:42:1000:50ed:847a:49:1a98 yes
www.ppooe.at A 80.243.168.87 yes 1 0
AAAA 2a01:488:42:1000:50ed:847a:49:1a98 yes

But ipv4 and ipv6 send different answers:

The /.well-known/acme-challenge/unknown-file - check: Ipv4 and www/ipv6 have a redirect, adding a "/".

Ipv6 + non-www has a http status 200, but http status 404 is expected.

Perhaps remove your ipv6, create a certificate and fix your ipv6 configuration.

Letsencrypt prefers ipv6, so this error is critical.

No idea. Perhaps a deploy-hook script.

Unrelated to the lack of HTTP auth, this seems to me like a loop:

That response is from the webserver. Doesn't have anything to do with deploy-hooks or certbot at all.

It's just the PHP running on the IPv6 version of the site is completely broken.

Yep, it’s a Grade L.

But /.well-known/acme-challenge/ doesn’t have the problem. So it’s possible to create a certificate. Then the loop should be fixed.

Hi @JuergenAuer,
Thank you very much for your superb response!

Now I feel a little stupid that i have overseen the v6 records at migration :slight_smile:
Just got stuck at the __autoload() error - which comes from an old php script running on the old server.

Removed em and now everything works fine!
Thanks again and best Regards!
