• Unable to enable LetsEncrypt

    I first noticed this problem in 6.8.1-rc1, updated to 6.8.1 and still persists.

     

    • Start with an empty /boot/config/ssl/certs directory and USE_SSL set to off,
    • Go to Settings -> Management Access and change "Use SSL/TLS" from "No" to "Auto"
    • The system will generate a self-signed certificate instead of using LetsEncrypt

     

    I'm marking this Minor because I haven't seen other reports so it is possible it is unique to my system. But if new LE setups really are broken then it should probably be Urgent.

    OK running this command manually generates the certificate:

    root@TowerVM:/tmp# php /usr/local/emhttp/webGui/include/ProvisionCert.php
    
    nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
    nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
    LE Cert Provisioned successfully

    The question is, why isn't this happening automatically?

    I see. User error :) 

     

    You have to press the "Provision" button. I was expecting that to happen automatically when changing "Use SSL/TLS" to "Auto".
