When testing I would like to use the "acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org" . This will give me an fake cert but will validate that everything is working correctly without hitting the main letsencrypt rate limits. Any clue on how I would go about changing this
I guess you have to modify the code in the ispconfig apache or nginx plugin as there is no setting for this.
Was able to find the correct file to use the staging server. It was /usr/local/ispconfig/server/plugins-available/nginx_plugin.inc.php Just changed the "https://acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org/directory" to "https://acme-staging.api.letsencrypt.org/directory" In case anyone else would like to test against the staging servers. Things didn't go as planned on first test domain.. Not sure if it was I had already had self signed certificate in place or constant screwing around with settings until I realized I hadn't opened up port 80. I did finally manage to get it to issue the Fake LE certificate. On my second test domain I removed the certificate first and deleted the files in the domain/ssl directory and it worked normally. This may not have been necessary. Well try with fresh install and see what happens when I get some more free time.
