Hi I am running a ISPConfig Server (updates to newest Versio) with Ubuntu 16.04 (update to latest). I used the perfect server setup when I installed the server. I already created some sites that a running let's encrypt certificates. As I tried to add a certificate to a new site. nothing seems to happen. I checked the "Let's Encrypt SSL" box and save the site settings. After a while the red dot showing that the ISPConfig server is configuring goes away. If I open the setting of the site now, the marker for "Let's Encrypt SSL" is not set. If I try to connect to the https site I am forwarded to another site (web1) on the server. Other settings for the site can be changed (for example PHP). Do you have any idea what might be wrong? Regards Bernd
Let's Encrypt can not create the certificate. To find out why, follow these instructions: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/lets-encrypt-error-faq.74179/
Hi Thanks for the hint. As it seems that is the problem. There is a python error shown in the logs. I fear my certbot version is to old. As I set up the server I installed letsencrypt from the GIT repository to /root/.local/share/letsencrypt/bin/letsencrypt. As there now is a version available for Uubunt 16 (add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot, see https://www.digitalocean.com/commun...ure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-16-04) do you think it is safe to delete /root/.local/share/letsencrypt/bin/letsencrypt and install letsencrypt from the repositories? Might there be a problem with existing sites that are using a cert? Regards Bernd
Thanks to the both of you for the hints. Anythings seemsto work perfect again. I removed the letsencrypt installation in /root/.local/share/letsencrypt/bin/letsencrypt and installed the version from certbot PPA: Code: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install software-properties-common sudo add-apt-repository universe sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install certbot python-certbot-apache
