Hi everybody, I've just setup a new server as described in the perfect server tutorial with Debian 10, Apache, Bind, Dovecot. I installed Let's Encrypt client, without error message. Now I tried to configure my first domain and activated SSL and Let's Encrypt SSL but unfortunately no cert is being requested. As is, there is not even a directory /etc/letsencrypt created or some logging in /var/log/letsencrypt (directory does not exist). How can I check whether the installed client (I can see it in /opt/eff.org) basically works and what stops it from requesting a cert? Thanks in advance!
Ddi you run the: certbot-auto --install-only after you downloaded certbot-auto? If no, run it now. If yes, see let#s encrypt error faq for the steps to find out why now LE cert can be requested: https://www.howtoforge.com/community/threads/lets-encrypt-error-faq.74179/
Thanks for this super fast reply! Yes, I did run "certbot-auto --install-only". Now I followed your advice in the FAQ and it helped: I switched "Skip Letsencrypt check" under System > Server config > web to "enabled" and now it works. Thanks again, your support is outstanding!
