Installing Let's Encrypt on Ubuntu 16.04 running MeteorJS app

Help
1

I have a MeteorJS app running on my Digital Ocean server (using nginx). I have followed this tutorial to install Let’s Encrypt certificate, but it failed on this command:

sudo letsencrypt certonly -a webroot --webroot-path=/var/www/html -d luludeals.com -d www.luludeals.com

I get this error:

Failed authorization procedure. www.luludeals.com (http-01): urn:acme:error:unauthorized :: The client lacks suffic
ient authorization :: Invalid response from http://www.luludeals.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/AFx6B3zOXAm1aR0ZxyW

My /etc/nginx/sites-available/default file looks like that:

# Default server configuration
#
server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        listen [::]:80 default_server;

        # SSL configuration
        #
        # listen 443 ssl default_server;
        # listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
        #
        # Note: You should disable gzip for SSL traffic.
        # See: https://bugs.debian.org/773332
        #
        # Read up on ssl_ciphers to ensure a secure configuration.
        # See: https://bugs.debian.org/765782
        #
        # Self signed certs generated by the ssl-cert package
        # Don't use them in a production server!
        #
        # include snippets/snakeoil.conf;

        root /var/www/luludeals;

        # Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
        index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

        server_name _;

        location / {
                # First attempt to serve request as file, then
                # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
                try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
        }

        location ~ /.well-known {
        allow all;
        }


        # pass the PHP scripts to FastCGI server listening on 127.0.0.1:9000
            #
        # location ~ \.php$ {
        # include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        #
        # With php7.0-cgi alone:
        # fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
        # With php7.0-fpm:
        # fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php7.0-fpm.sock;
        # }

        # deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
        # concurs with nginx's one
        #
        # location ~ /\.ht {
        # deny all;
        #}
   }

Do you know how to solve this problem?

hi lukasnavicas

looks like you got your problem sorted

Looking at the logs you were returning HTML tags whereas you should have just been returning text and the content that LetsEncrypt asked you to put in
