Hello all,

I already configured my root server for ssl. I have also paid ssl certificates for my two domains and working properly. But i would like to use lets encrypt for my other domains.

my question is, how can i fix below error?

Lets encrypt cronjobs working properly but when i checked my log files it says 404 Not found error in https://domain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/alaOcXG2qqHJKiMj26IXNA-IkSdtSgt3rnjgJnYDv8I . I assume it couldnt able to create required certificates. But under /root/.well-known/acme-challenge i can see the key files for domain, there is no any other .well-known folder under /var/customers/webs/

Thanks in advance for your help!

1) the token is created temporarily, means it will always result in 404 if you try to open it manually. 

2) validate that you have configured the acme.conf in /etc/apache2/conf-enabled/ according to the froxlor configuration templates

Thanks

i changed acme.conf

previously it was 

Alias "/.well-known/acme-challenge" "/var/www/froxlor/.well-known/acme-challenge"
<Directory "/var/www/froxlor/.well-known/acme-challenge">
Require all granted
</Directory>

and overwrite with the new version according to froxlor panel configurations, restarted apache; 

Alias "/.well-known/acme-challenge" "/root/.acme.sh//.well-known/acme-challenge"
<Directory "/root/.acme.sh//.well-known/acme-challenge">
	Require all granted
</Directory>

But when i execute below command, i got 403 forbidden error 

php /var/www/froxlor/scripts/froxlor_master_cronjob.php --force --debug

That is wrong. It should be /var/www/froxlor/.well-known/acme-challenge/ - in no way generates froxlor that with /root/.acme.sh/....

So i should change it to below again? 

Alias "/.well-known/acme-challenge" "/var/www/froxlor/.well-known/acme-challenge"
<Directory "/var/www/froxlor/.well-known/acme-challenge">
Require all granted
</Directory>

Btw please see attached configuration example from froxlor panel page

Then your settings are messed up. The let's encrypt challenge path should NOT be /root/.acme.sh/ - it's default value is the path where Froxlor is installed. It must be web accessable so this is the recommended setting

As i understand acme script is creating key files under /root/.acme.sh/ and it cause error. As you wrote above, it should be create key files under /var/www/froxlor/.well-known , i copied them manually but still the same

so where can i find acme.sh actual installation for froxlor with proper folder destination?

thanks

omg no...the KEY files DO belong in /root/.acme.sh/ it's all about the VALIDATION process. acme.sh requests a TOKEN that will temporarily stored to /var/www/froxlor/.well-known/acme-challenge/ which is then checked via http.

You simply need to follow the configuration templates, the defaults work JUST FINE, don't change anything you don't know what it does.

 

Best solution for you now:

- change the setting to the "let's encrypt challenge path" (Settings -> SSL settings -> Path for Let's Encrypt challenges) back to /var/www/froxlor

- validate that /var/www/froxlor/.well-known/acme-challenge exists, if not, create it. Put a file in there named "test" and write something into it, like "hello world". Something like this should do the trick: 

echo "Hello world" > /var/www/froxlor/.well-known/acme-challenge/test

- verify that the acme-alias (/etc/apache2/conf-enabled/acme.conf) works by opening http://domain.tld/.well-known/acme-challenge/test in your browser, if it shows "hello world" you're good to go, if not, you did something wrong

- remove all let's encrypt certificates from froxlor, log in as admin, goto "SSL certificates" and remove all the certificates that are issued by let's encrypt (if any)

- remove the whole /root/.acme.sh/ directory using rm -rf /root/.acme.sh/ the froxlor cronjob will re-install it.

- wait for the cronjob or run it manually using  

php /var/www/froxlor/scripts/froxlor_master_cronjob.php --force --debug
