Let's Encrypt SSL won't renew via aaPanel

littleaotearoa

Hi there,

I have hosted 2 websites using aaPanel. Both of them use Let's Encrypt SSL certificate that acquired via aaPanel back in July. For some reason the Cron task didn't managed to renew the SSL by itself.
I tried to manual renew it using 'renew' button in SSL but the command screen disappeared after showing 'ACME_QUERY_V_RESULT' (see screenshot below).

Then I switch to another website, deleted expired Let's Encrypt SSL using the 'Del' button in Certificate holder tab and tried to re-apply SSL via 'File verification' but the below error screen shows up.

I'd be really appreciated if anyone could give me some idea why it happened like this and how to get it solved.

I'm using CentOS8 on VPS.

Kind regards,
Scott

You might have Proxy turned on on Cloudflare.
Disable it and re-run it.
After succesfull, turn Cloudflare Proxy back on.

Hi liwern,
Thanks for your reply. The website does not use proxy. The initial Lets Encrypt SSL certificate was acquired through aaPanel via file verification method.

Not sure this works for you or not. If you are using cloudflare proxy, choose DNS verification method, and you will need to add txt records in cloudflare, after done, should be able to apply the Let's encrypt cert, The renewal should working as well.

Just a quick update...
For some reason the manual SSL renewal works again... Weird... I did turned off Redirect in website setting.

Redirection may redirect the content of the file that the CA needs to authenticate to other places and cause verification to fail
