Apache and Nginx on same server - Letsencrypt issue

    Hello,

    I have an ispconfig 3.2.8p1 server.
    I install a configuration with apache2.
    In parallel, I install Zulip chat on that same server.
    Zulip install script installed nginx. I changed nginx default port going to 5080.
    I create a website in ispconfig and proxypass zulip. It works.

    Where I face a difficulty is for LE certificate.
    In server/lib/classes/letsencrypt.inc.php, I cross that line ;-)
    Code:
    $app->log("Could not verify domain " . $temp_domain . ", so excluding it from letsencrypt request.", LOGLEVEL_WARN);
    Investigating, I discover that when doing
    curl http://mydomain.tld/.well-known/acme-challenge/le-562876136.8638743.txt
    This is NGINX which is answering and not APACHE2
    I check Ispconfig server setting : Webserver is apache

    netstat -tunelp | grep 80
    says
    Code:
    tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5080            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      0          705965     388525/nginx: maste
    tcp6       0      0 :::5080                 :::*                    LISTEN      0          705966     388525/nginx: maste               
    tcp6       0      0 :::8080                 :::*                    LISTEN      0          2113531    689757/apache2
    tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      0          2113515    689757/apache2
    tcp6       0      0 :::8081                 :::*                    LISTEN      0          2148465    689757/apache2
    
    I check /etc/apache2/ports.conf, there is Listen 80 in
    Apache seems not to listen to tcp... listen only tcp6 ?
    What should I do without impacting ispconfig configuration to turn back to apache when going to alias /.well-known/acme-challenge/ ?

    Set apache conf to listen to both ipv4 and ipv6 instead of just ipv6. Don't forget to restart it afterward.

    That is listening on all interfaces, both ipv4 and ipv6.
    This is normally done via:
    Code:
    # cat /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/999-acme.conf
    Alias /.well-known/acme-challenge /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/acme/.well-known/acme-challenge
    <Directory /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/acme/.well-known/acme-challenge>
                                    Require all granted
                            <IfModule mpm_itk_module>
               AssignUserId ispconfig ispconfig
            </IfModule>
    </Directory>

    Hello, thanks for your help !
    I decide to switch to docker for Zulip as it is incompatible with ispconfig...

    I face again an issue on a server having only apache2 !
    Config is in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/999-acme.conf and not /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/999-acme.conf
    I think it changes nothing because working server is with /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/999-acme.conf

    So my issue is :
    - I have ispconfig multiple servers running.
    - I am on webserver with apache2
    - I have a docker container with nginx inside binding port 5080
    Code:
    netstat -tunelp | grep 80
    tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:5080            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      0          426957769  951790/docker-proxy
    tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      0          427036056  964707/apache2
    tcp6       0      0 :::8081                 :::*                    LISTEN      0          427036064  964707/apache2
    tcp6       0      0 :::5080                 :::*                    LISTEN      0          426960348  951817/docker-proxy
    I did
    touch /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/acme/.well-known/acme-challenge1.txt
    and
    curl http://mydom.tld/.well-known/acme-challenge/1.txt
    it says
    Code:
    <html>
    <head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>
    <body>
    <center><h1>404 Not Found</h1></center>
    <hr><center>nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)</center>
    </body>
    </html>
    
    Nginx is not set on the server itself only inside docker
    Code:
    docker ps
    CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                       COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS          PORTS                                                            NAMES

    I check
    Code:
    cat /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/999-acme.conf
    Alias /.well-known/acme-challenge /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/acme/.well-known/acme-challenge

                            <IfModule mpm_itk_module>
               AssignUserId ispconfig ispconfig
            </IfModule>
    </Directory>
    
    I setup that same conf on a testing server without any issue !
    What do you think ?

    I found : there is a rewrite rule that is driving directly into my docker container !
    I need to set a conditoon to avoid rewriting .well-known ...
    Code:
    RequestHeader set "X-Forwarded-Proto" expr=%{REQUEST_SCHEME}
    RequestHeader set "X-Forwarded-SSL" expr=%{HTTPS}
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule /(.*)           http://localhost:5080/$1 [P,L]
    <Location />
        Require all granted
        ProxyPass  http://localhost:5080/  timeout=300
        ProxyPassReverse  http://localhost:5080/
        ProxyPassReverseCookieDomain  127.0.0.1  mydom.com
    </Location>
    
    I try that but with no success
    Code:
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}  !/.well-known/acme-challenge
    RewriteRule /(.*)           http://localhost:5080/$1 [P,L]

    Finally, I'll do :
    <locationmatch '.well-known' >
    RewriteEngine off
    </locationMatch>
