Let's Encrypt, cert without www prefix.

    Hi,

    So yesterday I was playing around with Subdomains. I've added one. Then after an hour or so I've deleted it.

    Today I've noticed that the cert is invalid for the domain. Okay, i've run the renew code and all went okay, cert created and then I've received an email from Google that the certificate doesn't match. I've checked and certificate is set without www prefix.

    I have www prefix for my site and as far as I can remember, certificate domain was set with www in it.

    ISPConfig: latest version.
    OS: Debian 8.9, all up to date.

    Why is the "apps" subdomain still in the list? I've removed it from the ISPConfig. Or does it get removed by LE after some time?

    Site config has not changed at all, auto subdomain is still set to "www.".
    All the cert files that are linked above do exist.
    Am I crazy here that the cert should have www. prefix in it?
    Any ideas?

    use the debug mode in ISPConfig to see what exactly happens when ispconfig requests the cert from LE. That a subdomain is not added happens normally just in case it is unreachable.

    also providing the actual domain name helps to find the problem.

    Subdomain works just fine else the site would not work at all. Looks like other people have some similar problems with mkdir failed:

    In the /etc/apache2/sites-available/lessthanweb.com.vhost it points to non-www SSL certs. Should not this point to www certificate?

    Code:
    SSLCertificateFile /var/www/clients/client0/web1/ssl/lessthanweb.com-le.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /var/www/clients/client0/web1/ssl/lessthanweb.com-le.key
    SSLCertificateChainFile /var/www/clients/client0/web1/ssl/lessthanweb.com-le.bundle
    SSLUseStapling on
    SSLStaplingResponderTimeout 5
    SSLStaplingReturnResponderErrors off
    
    The mkdir failed, there are no symlinks, all looks okay.

    Like I said, I have NOT changed any of the settings for this specific site apart from adding new subdomains via the Subdomain menu, just updated to the latest version and then got Google email that the cert does not match.

    Any ideas?

    No. This is a symlink, the name does not matter and is no indication of what's inside the SSL cert.

    run:

    ls -la /var/www/clients/client0/web1/ssl/lessthanweb.com-le.crt

    to see to which LE cert it points. According to the log, it points to the cert
    /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.lessthanweb.com-0001/fullchain.pem

    The mkdir failed error has been fixed in the stable-3.1 branch already. But it should not matter for your problem.

    But according to the log, the website has just the domain itself plus a www subdomain and no other alias or subdomains. are you sure that you added more domains to that site (and I don't mean vhost alias or subdomain as they don't belong to this website.

    Hey,
    Sorry for late reply and thanks for replying. :)
    Code:
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 60 Aug  7 16:14 /var/www/clients/client0/web1/ssl/lessthanweb.com-le.crt -> /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.lessthanweb.com-0001/fullchain.pem
    This is baffling me..
    Yes, there are no subdomains or anything as I've added it and then removed it like 5 minutes after adding it so that is correct that there are none.
    The problem here is with the domain and "www." and wrong certificate being served. Or has always been like that and I just had an imagination that there was "www."? Just checked on another server which again has the same set up and again the LE domain name is without "www.". So identical situation and the site setup in ISPConfig is identical to mine.
    I have 3.1.6 and get that error.. Just letting you know. :)

    Just to add my 5 cents:
    After being happy that "Skip Lets Encrypt Check" under SYSTEM --> SERVER CONFIG --> WEB --> SSL Settings solved my problems behind NAT, again the same problem arises. But going to DEBUG and examining the ISPConfig logs pushed me into right direction:
    It was subdomain.domain.com having problems, because LE was trying to issue certificate for www.subdomain.domain.com and subdomain.domain.com. But "www" was not configured under DNS, thus not pointing towards my server.
    Once I added A-record for "www.subdomain" into DNS, LE worked out of the box.

    BTW...The DEBUG message
    mkdir failed: /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/acme/.well-known/acme-challenge/
    seems not causing any problems.

    @labsy I suppose you have Auto Subdomain for that subdomain set to www, don't you?

    It's not really the same problem, you just added a non existing domain to the site. Without LE check, you have to ensure yourself to add existing domains only to websites and as @HSorgYves pointed out, you probably have set auto subdomain to www and not to none, so the www subdomain must exist in DNS. Set auto subdomain to none, disable le and then enable it again or add the www subdomain as you did now.
