Let's Encrypt not working for existing domains

    Hi,
    we are using ISPConfig 3.1.11 on Debian 9 with apache 2.4
    When creating a new domain we are able to generate an certificate via let's encrypt. If we are trying to edit a domain afterwards and add let's encrypt support we get an error in the error.log of the vhost:
    "client denied by server configuration: /usr/local/ispconfig/interface/acme/.well-known/acme-challenge/le-5ad8b3dd62b9c.txt"
    We checked your faq at https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/lets-encrypt-error-faq.74179/ and everything seems fine, but it is not working.
    Do you have any suggestions that might help to solve this problem?
    Thanks!

    Do you have any custom config in the apache directives field of the website or does your website use a .htaccess file which might deny access to paths that start with .well-known/ ?

    I can't believe I didn't check this...
    We have this code in the apache directive:

    <FilesMatch "(^\.|wp-config\.php|xmlrpc\.php|(?<!robots)\.txt|(liesmich|readme)\.*)">
    Require all denied
    </FilesMatch>​
    Maybe I can somehow implement an exception for .well-known/
    Thanks for your help!

    Edit: I added the following lines in the apache directive and got it working:

    <LocationMatch "/.well-known/acme-challenge/*">
    Require all granted
    </LocationMatch>
