CertSage 1.4.2 - cURL execution failed

[StirlingSteve]

My domain is: www.riversidereflexology.com (with three aliased domains - www.riverside-reflexology.com and the two .co.uk equivalents for both).

I ran this command: I used the CertSage 1.4.2 GUI

It produced this output: cURL execution failed: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/finalize/1826556117/285565910907 (and latterly, this: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/authz-v3/374481138767 and this: https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/acme/new-acct)

My web server is (include version): Apache 2.4.59

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Linux.

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: TSOHost

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

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): Yes - cPanel 110.0 (build 20)

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): Unknown.

Hi there, I hope you can help. I installed CertSage 1.4.2 on my site, filled in my primary domain and password, tested via "acquire staging" option (which worked) and then tried the Production option. It failed a few times but eventually worked but only for my main domain above, not the aliases. I worked out that if I add each alias at a time it is more successful, but even then several attempts are needed and the last one just won't work at all. I have tried adding www.riversidereflexology.co.uk several times but it always fails at Production - any idea what I'm doing wrong? Probably something stupid on my part... I don't really know what I'm doing!

EDIT: It just worked after the 10th or 11th attempt - woohoo! I'd still like to know why it took so many attempts though as I guess I'll have to go through the same process in a couple of months and anything I can do to make it work smoothly first time is a good thing.

Thanks in advance for the help...

Steve

Welcome to the Let's Encrypt Community, @StirlingSteve!

I'm the author of CertSage.

Firstly, glad you got this working!

A large portion (if not most) of CertSage is error handling, so when something like this happens, I too like to understand why. Given that I haven't seen this issue systemically (i.e. I haven't seen a number of similar reports here in the Let's Encrypt Community or via email), my initial presumption is that this is possibly related to Let's Encrypt tweaking/upgrading some things related to their service lately. If you notice further issues or have additional information to report, please do so.

Thanks.

Several users have complained of this in the last hour. I am investigating now. Follow https://letsencrypt.status.io/pages/incident/55957a99e800baa4470002da/668c963eafdb5f174f9f2443 for status updates.

Can you provide any more information on the periods of time when you started encountering these errors, and what IP address you used to connect?

Hi and thanks for the info!

[StirlingSteve]

Hi there,

Time-wise, each attempt was taking about 3 minutes to time out I would guess, but not 100% sure as I was doing other things as well in the background. I'll PM you my IP address.

Ta!

For reference, I'm also seeing this error. Also on tsohost.

(also - after a few attempts it worked. It's probably just a coincidence, but I upgraded to CertSage 1.4.2 just before it worked. I think I'd previously been on 1.2.x)

We've had some reports of network trouble from some users reaching Let's Encrypt. We saw a small dip in traffic, but it has since recovered.

Can you let us know if you're still seeing this problem after about 14:20 UTC, about 1 hour ago?

[StirlingSteve]

Yes, just tried it again and it worked fine and much faster too so I guess it could have easily been network issues for me.

Ta,
