LetsEncrypt eror

Hi

Am getting a "Failed to create**********.csr.der" error

Is there perhaps a logfile I can check for further info or another way to track down possible cause?

See attached

thanks

Johan

Hi,
The certificates folder must be down your app folder.
Hope that helps

Hi Michelis

I have placed the host.exe in a sub folder "sites" and below that I have the certificates folder

If I understand correctly that's what you meant, I did have it setup up with the certificate folder below the app folder.


thanks

I had the same error and bruce fixed it. I don't remember well enough to repeat the steps he did to "fix" the problem. I believe he was going to make changes to the next update to prevent this issue.  Hope that helps, even though I have no solution, at least you know it's not just you

The certificates folder must be down your app folder.

I don't think this is true. The certificates folder can be anywhere, as specified by the Certificates Folder setting on the screen.

Hi Johan,

Tim had the same problem, and so the solution _might_ be the same.
You can test;

a) open a command prompt window
b) type
SET OPENSSL_CONF=c:\temp\a.cnf
c) leave the command prompt window open for the test
d) create an empty text file, c:\temp\a.cnf
e) repeat the get-certificate test.

Cheers
Bruce

Hi Bruce

Unfortunately same error
Perhaps any other trouble shooting I can try or logfiles to check?

thanks

run openssl.exe
what do you see?

[JohanR]

Hi Bruce,

Gives me the OpenSSL> prompt

I see the openssl batch files in the temp folder, can I run those manually or is there a way to put in a pause so I can check each as it executes?


regards

It'll typically stop executing when to gets to an error. And the log should give you some clues. Also update to the 12.09 build which fixed the error Tim was having.

and yes you can re-run the command in any of the temp files to see if any fail.

Cheers
