Problem updating ACME TLS-SNI-01 to alternative validation method

Unable to clean up challenge directory /var/www/kreator.ch/.well-known/acme-challenge

That probably just means the folder isn’t empty - not a real concern

Did it say ā€œCongratulations!..ā€ ?

Unfortunately: non.
Seems to be a mix between certbot & certbot-auto.
Maybe I should uninstall the latter.
In the past I did not have these .Well-known/acme … (seems to me)

The answer was:
Domain: kreator.ch
Type: connection
Detail: Fetching
http://kreator.ch/.well-known/acme-challenge/m6rgLXlLQxR_iC8Nfa-vTJptEwKKd_X-bhW3u2wJgS4:
Connection refused

To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
entered correctly and the DNS A record(s) for that domain
contain(s) the right IP address. Additionally, please check that
your computer has a publicly routable IP address and that no
firewalls are preventing the server from communicating with the
client. If you’re using the webroot plugin, you should also verify
that you are serving files from the webroot path you provided.
Rem: I do not have fire-wall

certbot-auto is a ā€œself-containedā€ system.
It should not be causing a grief.

Well that is the same http problem we have been trying to overcome.

You need to do the opposite here then.
And force https authentication:
./certbot [whatever you had +] --preferred_challenges https

Do you have TeanViewer ?
I could give you access to my server this way. It would go faster …

My ā€œTVā€ PC(laptop) is down at the moment…
The fan won’t spin so it refuses to boot [better safe than sorry I suppose].

So, no I can’t - sorry.

Lol.

root@vserv2200.swisslink.ch:/root# certbot renew --preferred-challenges https
An unexpected error occurred:
ArgumentTypeError: Unrecognized challenges: https
Please see the logfile 'certbot.log' for more details.

OMG!!!

cerbot --version

BRAIN FAAART!

It’s NOT HTTPS
use
TLS-SNI-01

certbot renew --preferred-challenges tls-sni-01

Certbot seems to be dead !!!
cerbot --version
-su: cerbot: command not found

cerTbot --version
[all lowercase]

It was all lowercase

c e r b o t
c e r t b o t

yours was missing the middle T

Sorry
certbot 0.10.2

but try this :slight_smile:
certbot renew --preferred-challenges tls-sni-01

No renewals were attempted.

Its’ very late…
Its’ very early…

Its’ both.

Ok a step in the right direction.
certbot certificates
is empty, so it can't RENEW anything.
So you need to get new with "certonly" and without "renew"
And if it doesn't prompt you for domain(s), we'll have to add them with "-d"
[and possibly "--apache" also - or "--webroot"]
