Update to Certbot last version on Debian 8/NGinx

Hello everyone, I have the SSL certificate on my mail server that has expired, I tried to renew it, but no command worked. I remembered it was an older version of LetsEncrypt. So I installed Certbot, but I’m afraid there is now a double configuration. Here is the message at the end of the installation.

My domain is: srv-mail.kameleonfr
My web server is (include version): Debian Jessie (GNU/Linux 4.5.7-std-3 x86_64 )

It produced this output:

Attempting to parse the version 0.26.0 renewal configuration file found at /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/srv-mail.kameleon.fr.conf with version 0.10.2 of Certbot. This might not work.
Obtaining a new certificate
An unexpected error occurred:
The request message was malformed :: Error creating new authz :: Name does not end in a public suffix
Please see the logfiles in /var/log/letsencrypt for more details.

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • If you lose your account credentials, you can recover through
    e-mails sent to kameleon1er@gmail.com.
  • Your account credentials have been saved in your Certbot
    configuration directory at /etc/letsencrypt. You should make a
    secure backup of this folder now. This configuration directory will
    also contain certificates and private keys obtained by Certbot so
    making regular backups of this folder is ideal.
    root@srv-mail:/etc/letsencrypt#

Thanks for your help.

Hi @kameleon1er

your configuration file is too old. But you can use certbot directly, not with the renew option

sudo certbot

Then the new configuration should be saved. Or empty your /etc/letsencrypt/renewal - folder (create a backup before).

Isn't this a typo? srv-mail.kameleonfr instead of srv-mail.kameleon.fr - one dot is missing.

Hi Juergen, thanks for help :slight_smile:

Blockquote Isn’t this a typo? srv-mail.kameleonfr

-Yes it is :wink:

I'm doing what you say and I'm not sure what I have to put after the Certbot last line :

1: Place files in webroot directory (webroot)
2: Spin up a temporary webserver (standalone)

Select the appropriate number [1-2] then [enter] (press 'c' to cancel): 1

Certbot want’s your webroot, the path your nginx loads your index - page of

http://srv-mail.kameleon.fr/

So check your nginx - configuration, there should be a name “root” with the webroot.

Mmm… I found this :

root /var/www/html;

Do I write the complete path like : /var/www/html ?

Thanks

Looks good (20 character)

Woww !!! :

IMPORTANT NOTES:

I have to check this subdomain configuration i guess.

Your "/html" is missing

Woahooo :smiley: You save my day !!! Merci :

IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at
    /etc/letsencrypt/live/srv-mail.kameleon.fr/fullchain.pem. Your cert
    will expire on 2019-01-14. To obtain a new or tweaked version of
    this certificate in the future, simply run certbot again. To
    non-interactively renew all of your certificates, run "certbot
    renew"

But … :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

SSL Report: srv-mail.kameleon.fr (163.172.150.10)

Firewall? No running webserver?

Ok, I'm really newbie with Nginx, I forgot to stop and restart the server. Done ! Now on "crt.sh" I see the cert :

crt.sh | 867799834

Yes, maybe firewall issue. I will ask my colleague who deployed this server. In any case, the certificate is present, it's a good start. :slight_smile:

Thanks again for your time. Have a good day :wink:
