Hello, ankn99!

Would you please to enable temporary debug log:
# plesk conf panel.ini
[log]
filter.priority = 7
And show me lines with "INFO [extension/letsencrypt] Register to ACME server" and "INFO [extension/letsencrypt] Validate ACME server" during the renew operation?
 
Hi,

I changed the Line, restartet PSA and right after this, I tried to create the certificate and copied everything inside the panel.log because I could not find the String you requested in any file under /var/log/plesk/* ....
THX for your help,

Andy

P.S.: I changed my real Domainname to XXXXXXXXX.XXX

Hi,
with the last Upadate to Version 2.10.0-621 , the problem still exist.

I have the same problem, I do not understand why in some domains of the same server the error does not jump, allowing me to generate the certificate without problems.
