Error issuing certificate

Help
1

Hello,

My domain is: https://zenlife.bg

Today I decided to move my wordpress site to a new domain. Some of the customization wasn’t there after the transfer so I thought it was because of the missing https of the new domain. So, I hoped on cpanel and ran Let’s Encrypt SSL and tried issuing a certificate.

This is what happened:

There was a problem processing your request

Will grealy appreciate your help.

Hi,

How did you request the certificate?
Did you use the plugin? (Let’s Encrypt SSL) or (SSL/TLS Status)?

Thank you

Hi,

Thank you for responding.

I used the plugin Let’'s Encrypt SSL found in cPanel.

Hi,

It seems that there are a part of the token file name missing…

Are you the owner of the server? (cPanel / WHM installation root user)?

Thank you

I don’t seem to understand your question. The hosting is mine if this is what you mean.

Hi @stevenzhu

Len('-NexebQThCz9ZuILk56RTg6EYARnKr3KJ1yPJM7mcF8') = 43 chars - this is the length of a token. So it looks good.

Hi @georgik

did you use cPanel with your older server? Or did you use another client (like certbot).

Perhaps there is a wrong redirect, so

/.well-known/acme-challenge/1234

is redirected. If you use the same redirect in your new environment, that may not work.

To test, create a file (file name 1234) in /.well-known/acme-challenge/ and test, if you can fetch this file via

http://zenlife.bg/.well-known/acme-challenge/1234

This strangeness is due to a bug in Boulder that was fixed two days ago. However, it would not have affected the outcome of your issuance request, so it can be disregarded.

Manually creating this file and seeing whether you can access it in a browser is definitely a good idea, it will help determine what the issue is.

At the moment the challenge is being placed in the domain's document root but it isn't accessible in a browser. You might need to ask your host about it as they appear to have a few extra customizations in their cPanel that could potentially be interfering.

Uploaded a text file with that name. Cannot be fetched...

Earlier I had a really bad headache as moving the site didn't go as planned. Big part of the customization was omitted on the new domain. I was ready to give up after trying all night to make it work and got it to work just before bed.

Hopefully, tomorrow this issue will too be resolved...

Then please share your nginx - configuration. One thing is curious:

There is a http status 404:

http://zenlife.bg/.well-known/acme-challenge/1234

But checking direct:

download http://zenlife.bg/.well-known/acme-challenge/1234 -h
Error (1): Der Remoteserver hat einen Fehler zurückgegeben: (404) Nicht gefunden.
ProtocolError

Content-Type: text/html

there is a "ws-httpd" - server. Is there another webserver - software?

Checking your root:

download http://zenlife.bg/ -h

The same Server "ws-httpd". And a Vary - argument "User-Agent". Is this an additional program which blocks or redirects Letsencrypt?

Hi,

Tried installing Let’s Encrypt SSL again through cPanel today and it worked! Here’s how the sucess message looked like:

I’ve no idea what does that mean :confused:

Yep, your https://zenlife.bg/ works. But you have mixed content warnings you should fix. Content is loaded via http, not https.

Use Chrome / Firefox, then Ctrl + Shift + I, that opens the console. There you see the files.

Sample:

http://zenlife.bg/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/NewAgeShopfooter-150x150.png

I don't understand that. zenlife.bg - there I can't find a CNAME. Same with zenlife.newageshop.bg.

But it works! :smile:

Because that's a addon domain for cPanel, it would create a not existed subdomain on your main (account) domain.

You could simply ignore it.
(Or try to remove it from your DNS)

Thank you
