Resolved Can't renew Let's Encrypt Certificate, no _acme-challenge string in Plesk Web GUI

Server operating system version

Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS

Plesk version and microupdate number

Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 Update #2

Hi,
I try to renew a Let's Encrypt certificate, but I don't get a _acme-challenge string to place it in the TXT Record of a external DNS Server. How can I optain the _acme-challege string via the Plesk web interface or do I have to switch to some command line tool?

Regards
Jürgen

Are you requesting a wild card certificate? If not, it uses HTTP challenge instead of DNS challenge.

no I do not request a wild card certificate, have checked both options are off. But the details page of the certificate says


Is there a possibility to check whether a DNS or HTTP challenge was used?

I have enabled thew wildcard option on the Let's Encrypt page

and now it returns the challenge string, now it works

Like I said, it does a HTTP challenge if you are not getting a wildcard and it does a DNS challenge if you do get a wildcard.
