Enable LetsEncrypt in DirectAdmin

Hi,

I followed these steps:

https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=648 ( How to enable LetsEncrypt)

Afterwards, on user level in directadmin I’ve clicked “Advanced Tools” -> “Install SSL Certificates”. The problem is that I only see:

• Create your own self signed certificate
• Create A Certificate Request

But I don’t see:

• Free & automatic certificate from Let’s Encrypt

How come?

# cat /etc/centos-release

Let's encrypt client 1.1.11 has been installed.

This is also correct:

SSL is currently **enabled** for this domain. You can disable it **here**.

But in the end, I don’t see: “Free & automatic certificate from Let’s Encrypt”? I think I just followed all steps correctly?

Hi,

Did you actually wrap the above line inside ** ?

You might want to check if SSL is enabled for each user too...

Thank you

Thanks! The two stars ** are not part of the code. I've tried to make the following bold:

enable_ssl_sni=1
letsencrypt=1

Apparently it doesn't work correctly on this forum. SSL is enabled for the user, see:

SSL is currently enabled for this domain. You can disable it here.

I just followed the extra steps 4,5,6 here: How to enable Let's Encrypt in DirectAdmin : Yourwebhoster.eu

However, it doesn't change anything, same problem.

Yeah… Then I would highly suggest you to ask this on DirectAdmin forum or contact their support crew…
Since that’s all I could do / suggest…

Thank you

Thanks again. At the same moment I placed it on this forum, I also placed it on the DirectAdmin forum. I think that post is waiting for approval, but it’s a bit strange because “My Activity” on vBulletin doesn’t show anything, but maybe that’s just bad usability of vBulletin. I’ve no expercience with vBulletin, but when I placed the post I got a message about “approval”.

In the end, it appeared that I checked the skin the wrong way. The skin was not set to “enhanced” and that was the problem.
