Hi @damianlewis
you use the webroot authenticator:
If that doesn't work, your webroot may be wrong.
What's the content of your config file:
/etc/letsencrypt/renewal
What says
nginx -T
Your main configuration looks ok ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=laurdan.co.uk ):
But you have a redirect http -> https. So you have to use the https - webroot.
Nginx’s error.log will likely also show where it’s looking for the file.

looks good, so you use the correct webroot.
But your location definition looks like all is managed by the /index.php. That can't work with the validation file.
Create the two subdirectories
/var/www/public/.well-known/acme-challenge
there a file (file name 1234), then try to load that file via
https://www.laurdan.co.uk/.well-known/acme-challenge/1234
and recheck the complete folder + file with the online tool.
That
may be an additional problem.
The HTTP server block redirects to HTTPS.
The HTTPS server block handles certain static files in Nginx – a long list of regular expression location blocks – and passes everything else to the CMS.
^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/ isn’t in the list.
You should exclude /.well-known/acme-challenge/ from the redirect, or add it to the list of static directories.
(Or reorganize everything.)
What online tool are you referring to?
Should have mentioned that the site has been using this certificate for over 2 years without any issues. Any reason why it’s stopped renewing?
Best guess is that something changed with the Nginx configuration or the web application.
Fixed the issue by adding the following to the nginx config just before the location / {...} block:
location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
allow all;
default_type "text/plain";
}
location = /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
return 404;
}
Not sure why this hasn't caused an issue before.
Thanks for all your help
