    Hello!
    I am facing issues with SSL for websites for ISPConfig.
    I followed below:
    • Added a new website and made sure not to check SSL & Let's Encrypt checkboxes in first attempt
    • After saving, I then edited the website & checked SSL & Let's Encrypt
    • Waited sometime but the HTTPS was not implemented
    • I verified the domain's vhost file and found that there was no virtualhost 443 entry
    • Token file in .well-known/acme-challenge was also not generated
    • No error was reported when executed /usr/local/ispconfig/server/server.sh
    Version details:
    • ISPConfig v3.2dev20210313
    • PHP 7.0.33
    • Apache 2.4.18
    • Ubuntu 16.04.7 LTS
    Kindly note, the HTTPS for the ISPConfig panel is working absolutely well.
    Please guide about fixing this.

    You can check it immediately, no need to first save and then enable it.

    Please go through https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/lets-encrypt-error-faq.74179/ to find the problem.

    Also, note that Ubuntu 16.04 is officialy not supported in ISPConfig 3.2 and above. Also, you are running a nightly build of ISPConfig - I would advice you to use the stable release for production systems.

    Thanks @Th0m
    There are few places online where users have mentioned to do so.
    I have followed the link, upgraded ISPConfig to v3.2.3 and tried to create the same website again, but SSL is still not showing up. There is no error shown.
    How can I check if Let’s Encrypt is disabled in ISPConfig?

    I have never seen this, maybe it was needed in the past, but it is not now.

    What do you mean with this?

    The Let's Encrypt checkbox for this web will be disabled. Follow the steps from the guide to find out what is going wrong.

    Alright.

    I have followed the link line by line but no luck. What are your thoughts about the token file not being generated and absent virtualhost 443 record in vhost file?

    Then take a look at the log, as described, and eventually run the script in debug mode. It is described in the guide how to enable this. After doing so, enable the LE checkbox for the web and run the server.sh script manually.

    Post the debug output as mentioned in #5.

    That's ok, the token is there for less than a second, so you can't know if it existed or not.

    This must be the case if no SSL cert could be obtained from LE.

    No, I did not. Now after doing so and re-enabling the SSL, it worked like a charm.
    I have the certificate working now.
    Thank you so much! :)

    Glad to hear it is resolved.

    Please note once more, Ubuntu 16.04 is officialy not supported anymore. I would recommend you to use Ubuntu 20.04 or Debian 10 for a production system.
