Hi Everybody,
I am trying to renew my first certificates, but I am constantly facing the following issue: the certbot tries to open a not existing url:
I got my certificates with the following command:
“sudo certbot certonly --webroot /var/www/html/webmail -d webmail.lpokoradi.com”
This was working perfectly, at least I got the certifications.
Now I would like to renew the certification with the following command:
“sudo certbot renew”
But I got the following error message:
Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing…
Plugins selected: Authenticator webroot, Installer None
Renewing an existing certificate
Performing the following challenges:
http-01 challenge for webmail.lpokoradi.com
Waiting for verification…
Cleaning up challenges
Attempting to renew cert (webmail.lpokoradi.com) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/webmail.lpokoradi.com.conf produced an unexpected error: Failed authorization procedure. webmail.lpokoradi.com (http-01): urn:ietf:params:acme:error:connection :: The server could not connect to the client to verify the domain :: Fetching https://webmail.lpokoradi.com.well-known/acme-challenge/FUycnH5Tdiby4HXedBqg8A97qQZ5TGVTBgTBB1OT1_k: Error getting validation data. Skipping.
The interesting thing is that the url is: https://webmail.lpokoradi.com.well-known/acme-challenge… with a missing / sign between my domain and the .well-known folder.
Have you faced this issue before? How could it be resolved?
Thanks for your help!
Further details:
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu Server 18.04.1
I can log in to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): yes
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): no
I have another domain with a similar problem, but if this one is solved, hopefully the other will be resolved as well.
Because it seems you were totally right. I have a redirection in my apache config, and my url was “incorrect”. The incorrect settings was:
Glad to hear you were able to resolve the problem!
