[TESTING] Let's Encrypt Fails

I installed a new Ubuntu 14 machine, and followed the documentation, but fails on the "Domain Ownership" step. I got the message "Unable to update challenge :: The challenge is not pending.LET'S ENCRYPT - web.sergio-avila.com" and the URL doesn't work (http://web.sergio-avila.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/6O08ZSqsfGP0qA5Nf1JisF_-5a6reNwuiZLSmdjXEOY) what should I do?

Thanks!

Hi checho

Do you have clean system, without important data ?.
If you send me the root access for few hours I will check logs and so one directly on your server.
After that you can change password.

Send here: info@tinycp.com

Hi,

same problem here. Working on a solution.

Send me apache log. I will prepare a fix

always the same error, I tried to give other directory or file permissions but it doesn't work.

Check if all parent directories to the "/opt/tinycp/domains/xxx" have X flag.

Hey Folks,

Yeah I had the same issue but was able to resolve it by performing the following steps

1. Get to where it fails to verify the challenge within TinyCP
2. Navigate to /opt/tinycp
3. perform chmod +x on the following folders
   • opt/tinycp/domains
   • opt/tinycp/domains/<domain.name>
   • opt/tinycp/domains/<domain.name>/ssl
   • opt/tinycp/domains/<domain.name>/ssl/acme
   • opt/tinycp/domains/<domain.name>/ssl/acme/challenges
4. navigate to opt/tinycp/domains/<domain.name>/ssl and perform the following command
   • chown -R www-data:www-data acme
5. Restart Apache (service apache2 restart)

This should be updated in the process by the TinyCP Folks

In update 269 we have added the small fix for that.
Just do update and problem should be solved.

Not sure if you wanted a new bug report or not but after updating, when I attempt to create a new LetsEncrypt cert, I receive the following error
- Warning: mkdir(): File exists in /opt/tinycp/www/mods/web/apache/inc/ACME.class.php on line 281

This is a freshly added domain. The challenge is apparently created correctly because restarting apache allows me to verify the challenge and complete the certificate after seeing the error again twice in the CSR portion of the process.

ACME.class.php 281 line warning fixed.

I wait a litle until I close this thread, maybe some other warning or notices appear.

On fresh TinyCP install I still have to do:

chmod +x /opt/tinycp/domains/

before LE verification process can be done successfully.

I am in version Version number: 462, with freshly install tinycp in Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS. Still have the same problem？ do you have tutorial to show how to fix this?

I am on the latest version - same issue. This is a test server.
