LetsEncrypt Installation Question

  • I have purchased the LetsEncrypt Plugin and installed on a DO "Digital Ocean" Ubuntu 16.04 system with no problem. I was wondering if there is anything further I need to do, install Cert-bot or other utilities on the server to get up and running. Besides the images, screenshots of the i-MSCP backend, I can't find any further installation instructions. I have added the first domain to the i-MSCP but it is not connected to the Live Domain IP. So the certificate can't be created yet. Is there a suggested way to test the domain before going live? I hope my questions were clear enough.

  • Hey there, you don't have to do anything else:

    The certbot script is shipped with the plugin, so you just need to activate the plugin and enable letsencrypt for your domain.


    About your problem with the domain. The domain must be live, otherwise certbot cannot verify your domain. Also the domain must be reachable via www.
