Resolved Renew Let's Encrypt Certificate for Hostname

Fatih G.

Fatih G.

New Pleskian
Hello,
I am not able to renew the Let's Encrypt SSL certificate for the Plesk Server itself (hotsname). I've installed the certificate over Security Advisor -> System -> Plesk. Now there is only this info: "Plesk is secured with a valid SSL/TLS certificate".

The hostname I use is server.webdevels.de, this subdomain doesn't exist under domains. I also tried to add it manually and add a Let's Encrypt certificate for it but this is not working for Plesk and port 8443.

How can I renew the certificate or delete it so I can add it again over Security Advisor?
 
Here I can only add a selfsigned certificate. Can't renew the cert from lets encrypt.
Meanwhile under "Security Advisor" -> "System" it says again that Plesk is not secured with a SSL certificate, and I am able to click on "Plesk is not secured with a valid SSL/TLS certificate". But if I try it I'll get this error:
Code:

o_O ok! Thanks for this info - don't know how this happened - the subdomain was never added. While ordering the server I was asked to enter a URL/Hostname over which I can acces Plesk. I choosed server.webdevels.de and it worked out of the box without adding the subdomain in Plesk. I was also able to add the SSL certificate over the Sevurity Advisor.
Now I created the subdomain and tried to add the SSL certificate over Security Advisor again and it worked now. :oops:

As a last question: How can I renew certificates automaticaly in the future?
 
Hi Fatih G.,

all Let's encrypt certificates listed at "HOME > Extensions > Let's Encrypt" should be renewed automatically within the renewal process. ;)
 
OK, was just wondering because I get "Let's Encrypt certificate expiration notice" mails. But if they renew automatically, everything is fine now!

Thank you very much! :cool:

When I first used Let's Encrypt certificates, I checked the validation of the certificates manually and modified the standard "renewal" scheduled task ( HOME > Tools & Settings > Scheduled Tasks - command: "/opt/psa/admin/bin/php -dauto_prepend_file=sdk.php '/opt/psa/admin/plib/modules/letsencrypt/scripts/renew.php'" ) to run more often than "just once a month" ;)
