  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Resolved extension/letsencrypt Domain validation failed

Wouter Verboom

New Pleskian
Seen a lot of other threads but have not found the answer to solve this problem.
The .well-known directory exists and every time it tries to renew there will be a new token file is this subfolder.
It's not possible to open this token link via the browser so there it my problem.
Lot's of other websites on this server with lets encrypt certificate have no problem….it's only this 1.
What can i check more than things i have already tried via other threads in this forum?
I'm a bit lost.

* Check if the IP of your domain really points to your Plesk server
* If you create a file, say "testfile.html" in the httpdocs folder of your domain, do you see it when you access http://domain.com/testfile.html?
* Do you have any .htaccess file that does any rewrites with mod_rewrite?
 
ip is the right one… i made a phpinfo.php in the httpdocs folder and that one cannot be opened.
.htaccess file is deleted.
It seems this Wordpress site give me that this link could not be opened.
So looks like something in Wordpress?
 
Did you maybe define another Document Root for your domain? Check Hosting Settings => "Document root" and Apache & nginx settings
 
no it's the default /httpdocs
In Apache & nginx settings everything is default.
I was already checking against other Wordpress installations to see if anything was set different....but no.
 
i had a readme.html file in de /httpdocs folder....that could be opened without any problems.
when i try to open phpinfo.php it's not working.
 
Found the problem…. the customer has moved it's WordPress site somewhere else via DNS/IP address :p
So technically there is no problem on our server.
