Resolved Lets Engrypt - Could not obtain directory: Host must be a string

moswak

Regular Pleskian
CentOS 6.10
Obsidian 18.0.25 Update #2

For a few days now I have received the message, but only from centos 6 servers:

"Could not renew Let`s Encrypt certificates for ...."

Could not obtain directory: Host must be a string

The manual renewal in Plesk works without problems.

What could that be ?
 
That has something to do with the last update of SSLIT. This seems to cause problems with the old Centos 6.

Code:

@IgorG

we have to manually renew dozens of certificates every day. only with centos 6 servers.
I have created a report.
 
Thank you for your report!
We've reproduced the issue and create bug with id EXTSSLIT-821 which will be fixed in the nearest release.
 
Changes
1.3.1 (16 April 2020)

  • [-] On CentOS 6 servers, automatic renewal of SSL/TLS certificates issued via the Let's Encrypt extension no longer fails. (EXTSSLIT-821)
 
ok great, then I'll wait and see if such messages still come.

What completely irritates me is that today I get another email notifications regarding the certificates that could not be renewed yesterday "although" the certificates were all manually renewed yesterday.
