Issue Lets Encrypt with custom Domain (Proxy Pass)

Attackwave

New Pleskian
Hi,

when I use my domain vserver.mydomain.de and ProxyPass to connect to my control panel,
then the following errors occurre.

Domain settings for https:
ProxyPass "/" "http://127.0.0.1:8880/"
ProxyPassReverse "/" "http://127.0.0.1:8880/"


Lets Encrypt error for mydomain.de:
Code:
Internal error ;-P
<html>
<head><title>502 Bad Gateway</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">
<center><h1>502 Bad Gateway</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx</center>

Lets Encrypt works with https://vserver.mydomain.de:8443.

Is there a chance to make it working with ProxyPass?

i have the same error its because lets encrypt couldn't connect to ./well-known directory when proxypass is active?
i tried to add
Code:
# Statically serve all files in .well-known, which is the location where letsencrypt stores the proof file
location /.well-known/ {
    root /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/httpdocs/;
}

without any success i'm looking forward
 
That config seems to work (at least on the first view! ;-)) in my case...

Maybe "ProxyPreserveHost On" is NOT mandatory...?? (Thank you for your feedback...:))

-> I've got that idea from HERE: Error installing Certbot with Apache reverse proxy to NodeJS
