Is there a way to set where the challenge is located when attempting to generate a certificate using manual mode? I am working on migrating a domain from a host where I have literally no access to the underlying server (the old site is built in Drupal and fully managed by a third party) and wanted to generate the certificate beforehand to ease the migration process, but I cannot put the challenge file in the location that it wants me to. (We’ve asked for just FTP access but the host is unwilling to hand even that out.) Simply being able to specify a prefix would be good enough here - there’s a file manager within Drupal that I can do this with - but I can’t seem to find anything that would allow that.
Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better.
My domain is: uaminc.com
I ran this command: letsencrypt-auto certonly --manual -d uaminc.com -d www.uaminc.com
It produced this output: the proper output
My operating system is (include version): Ubuntu 14.04
My web server is (include version): 2.4.7
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: DigitalOcean
I can login 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
