redirect to https and let's encrypt extension

patrickf

New Pleskian
Hello,

I'am using nginx + php fpm for a domain hosted on my server using plesk. Today i tried to get an let's encrypt certificate for that domain.
But i got following error message:
Code:
Failed letsencrypt execution: Failed authorization procedure. xxx.xx (http-01): urn:acme:error:unauthorized :: The client lacks sufficient authorization :: Invalid response from ...403 Forbidden

I'am using a additional nginx directive to redirect everything to https:
Code:
if ($scheme = http) {

    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;

}

I found out that this is the problem. As far as i know let's entcrypt only works with an http link.

Is there a way to redirect everything to https und use the let's encrypt extension?

Regards,
Patrick
 
Hi patrickf,

.htaccess - files and additional nginx directives may prevent the correct installation of a Let's encrypt - certificate. Please consider to rename .htaccess - files to .htaccess.bak ( at docroot ) and remove additional directives, which cause problems. After your certificate creation, you certainly may rename your .htaccess - file and re-add your additional nginx directives.
