I am able to generate for a different domain on the same server.

Can it be because the project is a laravel project?. In laravel, it first visits the public folder in the afrikartghana.com folder

so the domain is pointed to /home/mildax22/afrikartghana.com/public

Try using that as the webroot:

.acme.sh/acme.sh --issue -d afrikartghana.com -w /home/mildax22/afrikartghana.com/public

And show this output:
ls -la /home/mildax22/afrikartghana.com | grep well

You are a genius. It worked after using this command

.acme.sh/acme.sh --issue -d afrikartghana.com -w /home/mildax22/afrikartghana.com/public

Glad Rudy got it sorted for you. Will be happier once your new cert is sent out by your server :slight_smile:

Indeed, two steps remain:

  • use the new cert:
    restart/reload web service
  • automate the renewal process / use the latest cert

After generating the certificate, I am unable to install it via ssh :smiling_face_with_tear:. The command doesn't work for me. So I normally install it through the cpanel manually. I will be glad if you can take me through how to install and automate the renewal process

Please do you mean, installing it on my server?

Yes. Sorry, just different words. Your server is using the new cert so that looks good.

If you have cPanel, you might be able to use that to maintain the certs for all your sites.

Yes please but I wish to automate it :sweat_smile:

cPanel should be able to help with automation.
OR
You must do two things to automate this yourself:

  • ensure there is a job set to run certbot / acme.sh regularly
    [which will check for expiring certs and renew them]
    Try:
    systemctl list-timers | grep certbot
    crontab -l
  • automate the restart/reload of the web service
    [this can be combined into certbot renewals with a renewal hook]
    OR
    You could just schedule a job to reload your web service daily/weekly.

I don't think the hosting service has cPanel setup for any free automation. They sell SSL certs for an annual fee. It's a NameCheap hosting service (StellarPlus).

Still, you could setup so the cert auto-renews but you still would manually copy/paste the certs.
