Hi, since 2 weeks it get the error during the cron steered renew process. I'm not sure what happens. I can say, that I didn't change anything on my server. It was working in the past without any problems. What is going wrong? Please help me

checking your domain via https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=ncloud.spdns.org there you see the problem:

Bad Request
Visible Content: Bad Request Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand. Reason: You're speaking plain HTTP to an SSL-enabled server port. Instead use the HTTPS scheme to access this URL, please.

The content of the "Bad Request" - http status 400:

Your port 80 sends https requests, that can't never work.

Looks like this is a home server and you have a wrong port forwarding rule port 80 extern -> port 443 intern.

You need two port forwarding rules:

• port 80 extern -> port 80 intern
• port 443 extern -> port 443 intern

Hi Juergen,
thanks for your quick help. I’ve changed the settings on my router and now it works.
