Hello Everyone. Good day. I'm figthing an issue with the automatic SSL renew on ISPConfig. I'm seeing this errors on log: Code: 2022-02-24 03:04:24,881:DEBUG:acme.standalone:Failed to bind to :80 using IPv6 If I run the certbot script manually on the command line as testing (dry-run) adding the "--apache" parameter, all works fine. Code: certbot renew --apache --dry-run What should I change to fix the automatic cert revew via the ISPConfig scheduled task? Appreciate if you can shine some light on the issue. Thank you very much.

I don't remember the installer using standalone mode, I thought it used webroot as well; did you issue this certificate by running certbot manually here?
Hi Jesse. Thanks for the reply. I might have issue the certs manually in the past. If that's the case, should I remove the certs manually via certbot delete and create then again using the ISPConfig interface?
Issuing cert manually for website(s) do face problem(s) in renewal so that could be the cause that need fixing. Othwerwise, what version is your certbot? Old letsencrypt / certbot is also known to cause problems also, so remove them, if you are using any of them (old version) and install certbot via snap.
I have this problem in a non ispconfig server: certbot fails because port 80 is in use and I have to stop apache before running certbot. I Don't have any problem on ispconfig
Sorry, please open a new thread in non ISPConfig board if you have an issue with in non ISPConfig server. You got me confused.
1. Your problem is not related to ISPConfig matters; and 2. Even so, certbot should not have problems with port 80 unless you installed some LE certs using --apache (or --nginx) parameter which you do not need to do if you installed all of the LE certs using --webroot parameter. That is mainly why in ISPConfig you do not have to turn your web server (apache2 or nginx) off and on during renewal as ISPConfig web server only uses --webroot parameter. So, in short, even in your own non ISPConfig web server, you will not have to turn off your webserver if you only use --webroot parameter to get LE certs.
HI Jesse. I've deleted the Certs using certbot command line and re-created them using the ISPConfig interface, all seems fine now. Thank you for the help.
