Resolved Let's Encrypt: Certs not auto-renewed if redirect to HTTPS is enabled for domain

[hansitheking]

Server operating system version

Ubunut 22.04

Plesk version and microupdate number

18.0.57 #5

My Let's Encrypt certs do not get auto-renewed because the redirect from HTTP to HTTPS is enabled in Plesk. The only hotfix I found for the moment is to disable the redirect temporary during the night by running a cron with:

plesk bin site -l | while read i; do plesk bin site -u $i -ssl-redirect false; done

and in the morning, after 4 hours, I switch on the redirect again:

plesk bin site -l | while read i; do plesk bin site -u $i -ssl-redirect true; done

Does anyone else have this problem or another solution?

It would appear that we also have this issue today

Hi! It would helpful to see details about the error happened during the renew process. Could you also check you domain with Let's Debug

Just a quick update on this. We had some special rules on Cloudflare that conflicted with LetsEncrypt. After redoing all this, it appears to be working again.
Atleast that was our issue

My Let's Encrypt certs do not get auto-renewed because the redirect from HTTP to HTTPS is enabled in Plesk.

We've never, ever, had this issue, since we commenced using Plesk and Let's Encrypt SSL Certs. Plus, ALL of our hosted domains have been redirected from HTTP to HTTPS since they were first hosted by us. As we're on the same Server(s) OS and a very similar Plesk Obsidian Release, it's more likely to be a local mis-config, somewhere in your own setup, as opposed to a Plesk error. FWIW Our last set of Let's Encrypt renewals were indeed, when we were using Plesk Obsidian 18.0.57

Thanks for all your help!

This article helped me the most:

It currently looks like my server is not accessible via IPv6. So far, I can't pinpoint where exactly the problem lies. I will keep you up to date.

Solution: After a long back and forth with the operator (alfahosting.de) of my server, it turned out that it was inaccessible via IPv6. Since the problem was fixed, everything is working again. This post is directly related to this post. I recommend everyone to start testing with this tool: Let's Debug

FWIW: Similar issue, various attempts to reissue or renew nearly-expired certificate wouldn't work.

Resolution was to delete ("unassign") the Lets Encrypt certificate and create a new wildcard certificate.
