    Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS
    ISPConfig 3.1.13
    nginx

    I'm having some trouble obtaining Let's Encrypt certificates. I've tried with and without "Skip Lets Encrypt Check" enabled. When it is enabled, the warning shows me the command that was issued. Here's what I get when I issue the command manually:
    Code:
    #
    /usr/bin/letsencrypt certonly -n --text --agree-tos --expand --authenticator webroot --server https://acme-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/director
    y --rsa-key-size 4096 --email postmaster@testing.[domain].com  --domains testing.[domain].com --webroot-path /usr/local/ispconfig/interface

    IMPORTANT NOTES:
     - The following errors were reported by the server:
    
       Domain: testing.[domain].com
       Type:   unauthorized
       Detail: Invalid response from
       http://testing.[domain].com/.well-known/acme-challenge/gL6rp6uI1IcLYtExxa8AqcxqdZkTA5g-kuA-jmfoLYQ:

       bgcolor=\"white\">\r\n<center><h1>404 Not
       Found</h1></center>\r\n<hr><center>"
    
       To fix these errors, please make sure that your domain name was
       entered correctly and the DNS A/AAAA record(s) for that domain
       contain(s) the right IP address.
    
    Running dig confirms that the DNS A record is correct. What might cause the token file to not be served properly?

    Here's my htf_report.txt:

    Do you have a ProxyPass line for /.well-known/ or /.well-known/acme-challenge/ in nginx config? Does the /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/acme/.well-known/acme-challenge/ directory exist (and no part of that path is a symlink)?

    I don't have any ProxyPass line. What should it be and how does it normally get there? I don't recall seeing anything about it in the setup tutorial.

    Thanks for your help.

    I don't run nginx servers, so don't have a working sample, but I see mention of that repeatedly when folks add nginx config - just search the forum here a little and you'll likely find examples within minutes.

    Thanks for your suggestion. I've at least been able to eliminate this as a possibility. I don't have and shouldn't need any proxy_pass. I've posted a new thread with the problem narrowed down here. I know you're not an nginx guy, and this is firmly in nginx territory now. I just wanted to update you and say thanks for giving it a shot.
