LE on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server - SLES 11

[asterix1]

Hi,

just tried to install letsencrypt 0.50 as root on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server - SLES 11 SP4, Kernel V. 3.0.101-63, Python V.2.6.9, with error:

./letsencrypt-auto --help all
Sorry, I don’t know how to bootstrap Let’s Encrypt on your operating system!

You will need to bootstrap, configure virtualenv, and run pip install manually.
Please see https://letsencrypt.readthedocs.org/en/latest/contributing.html#prerequisites
for more info.
Checking for new version…
Creating virtual environment…
/usr/local/bin/virtualenv: line 18: pyenv-root: command not found

Where to find the “pyenv-root” ?
Any ideas?

TIA!

To be honest, I’d use one of the alternate clients on that server. Any of the bash ones should work fine. Using the official client will require a few installs, and I suspect requiring you to upgrade Python.

Yes,

acme.sh would work for you.

Hi ,

just tried to install on SLES 11 server.
Install - OK, but:

acme.sh --issue --apache -d a-i-p.com -d www.a-i-p.com -d user.a-i-p.com -w /srv/www/htdocs --reloadcmd “service apache2 reload”

• shows errors:
  /root/.acme.sh/acme.sh: line 812: apachectl: command not found
  /root/.acme.sh/acme.sh: line 817: apachectl: command not found
  [Di 19. Apr 09:45:33 GMT-1 2016] Apache Config file not found=’/’
  [Di 19. Apr 09:45:33 GMT-1 2016] set up apache error. Report error to me.

How to correct this?

TIA!

[Neilpang]

remove the --apache and try again.

Hi Neilpang,

thanks - it looks now a little better:

acme.sh --issue -d a-i-p.com -w /srv/www/htdocs

Do you know, what does this error exactly mean - what is a possible reason?

[Neilpang]

Please make sure your webroot folder is correct.
you can echo a a.txt in the folder and visit it from the url:

echo aaaa > /srv/www/htdocs/a.txt

http://a-i-p.com/a.txt

Many thanks for your help!

I’m afraid I misunderstand the function of the scipt acme.sh ;-(
We have about 8 server in the company, they all belong to the same domain: a-i-p.com and they all are runing Apache+Tomcat with different applications.
But our WEB server is NOT on our LAN and not in our company. Do I have to install and run the script ONLY on the WEB server? What about those other server - how can I accomplish/produce certificates there?

[asterix1]

Thank you for your time @Neilpang! My webroot folder is correct - but on the right server, of course
Only one question more:
can I obtain with acme DV certificate for FQDN (Fully Qualif. Domain Name) ?

Best regards

[Neilpang]

of course. you can obtain certs for any FQDN.

sub.domain.com
