Install fine -
only issue was "Challenges failed for all domains"
I am not using DNS from imscp - instead using Cloudflare/domain registratr - this case I think is Godaddy actually (which i don't prefer) - which hasn't been an issue in the past that I know of.
external mail server is the only tricky part but not major and is fairly easy to deal with.
letsencrypt log file
/var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Probably simply be an .htaccess issue on wordpress causing the problem.
this is default wordpress .htaccess
letsencrypt log file
/var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
does show the failures
dns - expected -
http-01 not expected - but think it was the .htaccess.
--- Update ----
I updated the wordpress .htaccess and have been given a cert which works
but I also want to force https without HSTS due to that really getting the cache fouled up if I change DNS over to Cloudflare
Modified 1st .htaccess
- RewriteRule "(^|/)." - [F]the following rule:RewriteRule "^.well-known/acme-challenge" - [L]# BEGIN WordPress<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>RewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-fRewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dRewriteRule . /index.php [L]</IfModule># END WordPress
What is the best way now to force HTTPS?
tried:
adding lines 10 & 11... that pissed off the wordpress install pretty good...
- RewriteRule "(^|/)." - [F]
- the following rule:
- RewriteRule "^.well-known/acme-challenge" - [L]
- # BEGIN WordPress
- <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
- RewriteEngine On
- RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$
- RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
- RewriteBase /
- RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
- RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
- RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
- RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
- </IfModule>
- # END WordPress
