AutoSSL Renewal Issues

Not sure what changed, but I am getting errors on my server on all the domains on the server when I try (or it runs on its own) to update the autoSSL certificates for all domains on the machine.

I have searched for answers and have not found a solution. I do not have IPV6 enabled on the server, nor is there a .htaccess redirect to SSL only... however I do notice when I go to an unsecure site it takes me to the secure site, so there is a redirect happening somewhere.

In this example I have a domain of example.com which is an email only account, if I go to

Code:

http://www.example.com

it takes me to his index.html homepage. (and that is the only file in there for that site.) there is no .htaccess file or anything... yet when I go to the website it takes me to the https version of the site.

When the certificate tries renewing on this site (or ANY site hosted on this server I am getting the following errors...

Code:

Log for the AutoSSL run for “example”: Friday, May 24, 2019 10:36:59 AM GMT-0400 (cPanel (powered by Sectigo))
 10:36:59 AM AutoSSL’s configured provider is “cPanel (powered by Sectigo)”.
 This AutoSSL provider does not poll for certificate availability immediately after a certificate request submission. Instead, it submits certificate requests then periodically polls the cPanel Store for each requested certificate and installs it after a successful retrieval. The system will record all requests, retrievals, and installations for the current AutoSSL run in this log.

Any idea why this is happening? We have not changed anything and autoSSL renewal before always worked flawlessly.

Thanks

 

It does seem to be getting force redirected from http to https but I can't figure out where as there is now .htaccess file which is where I have put forced redirects for other domains on the server. But this domain has nothing.

This server is running apache.

Thanks

 

Nope... the entire directory is empty except for a simple html file.

I can not figure out where the redirect is coming from. Its driving me nuts.

Code:

[root@vps public_html]# curl -kvv domain.com

* About to connect() to domain.com port 80 (#0)

*   Trying <IPREMOVED>... connected

* Connected to domain.com (<IPREMOVED>) port 80 (#0)

> Host: domain.com

> Accept: */*

***EDITED*** to remove domain names/IP address and add code blocks

 

Cant figure out why this domain is auto redirected to ssl. There is no .htaccess and in the channel Force HTTPS is off. I am pulling my hair out here (what is left of it) :D

 

Nope all empty in there...

I am stumped.

I just put in a ticket. support request ID: 12387795 as I am going on vacation and this SSL expires while I am away. Spent a few hours on this already...

I do thank you for your help... this should have been an easy one. And its only on this domain which is so strange.
