Domain - Invalid Response

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:

beta-wellness.fitchek.com

I ran this command:

sudo certbot certonly --webroot --test-cert -w /opt/marketplace/public/wellness -d beta-wellness.fitchek.com

It produced this output:

Do you know what’s happening?

But with Cloudflare, you need an always running webserver with a correct certificate.

If your certificate is expired, you have the typical Cloudflare error messages:

(skipped the rest of the output).

So

  • use the Cloudflare integrated solution (or)
  • deactivate Cloudflare, create a new certificate, install it, then activate Cloudflare again

With activated Cloudflare, that can't work.

PS: There is no older Letsencrypt certificate.

PPS: What's the original ip address of your server? Test that ip direct.

My server is 174.117.43.114.

So here is the situation;

On cloudflare I have the A record created and set to gray cloud (DNS only)
ON cloudflare I have always use HTTPS turned off

the site I want to see up is beta-wellness.fitchek.com

On my server I have the sites-enabled and sites-available stuff set up correctly, and nginx is running with errors. I have the public folder where the site should point to created and populated with the app I want to serve.

The I run

sudo certbot certonly --webroot --test-cert -w /opt/marketplace/public/wellness -d beta-wellness.fitchek.com

And I get

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Plugins selected: Authenticator webroot, Installer None

404 Not Found

\r\n
”

IMPORTANT NOTES:

It sounds like that’s not the correct web root, then.

What’s in Nginx’s error.log?

Why not use certbot --nginx or certbot certonly --nginx?

The webroot is definitely correct.

There is nothing in the access or error logs for nginx

I am anxious to run the command too many times and cause a lockout, so if you have suggestions for different parameters please let me know how they would be implemented.

Running it with --nginx seemed ot help:

sudo certbot --nginx -w /opt/marketplace/public/wellness -d beta-wellness.fitchek.com

It gave me two options

Please choose whether or not to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS, removing HTTP access.


1: No redirect - Make no further changes to the webserver configuration.
2: Redirect - Make all requests redirect to secure HTTPS access. Choose this for
new sites, or if you’re confident your site works on HTTPS. You can undo this
change by editing your web server’s configuration.


I chose #2, now waiting for everything to refresh, fingers crossed!

--test-cert produces certificates that aren’t trusted by clients like browsers or Cloudflare’s CDN servers.

Moreover, certonly doesn’t configure Nginx to use the certificate, so Nginx might still be using something else.

Now this ip address in combination with your domain name beta-wellness.fitchek.com has a new Letsencrypt certificate ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=174.117.43.114&h=beta-wellness.fitchek.com ):

CN=beta-wellness.fitchek.com
	02.04.2019
	01.07.2019
expires in 90 days	beta-wellness.fitchek.com - 1 entry

And checking your domain now it's ok (Grade B).

Thank so much, you guys are awesome!
