Personally, I find it hard to pinpoint my problem. And I still don't know who is the real culprit of this problem.
- Either it's magento 2.4
- Or it's Cpanel
- Or it's getssl/certbot.
Anyway I explain you my problem for two weeks now:
I have a website with magento 2.4.2 . I get and install my certificates with getssl (on letsencrypt). I have been using getssl for two years now to get/renew my site's certificate without any problem. Of course I use "Cpanel -> SSL/TLS -> CERTIFICATES (CRT)" to load the obtained certificate files into my site.
My certificate expired two weeks ago, but when I tried to renew it with getssl, I got this error message:
I obviously started by Googling this error message. And none of the proposed solutions solved my problem (make the acme-challenge folder read/write, give the rights, etc...).
I decided to try to get the certificate with Certbot, another software. But even it displays an error more or less similar to the one from getssl:
Basically, if I understand correctly, the two can't reach the content of this URL:
http://myDomainne.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/Txt_files_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Finally, to check the challenge.
To check this I simply created a "test.txt" file in the /.well-known/acme-challenge/ test.txt directory in which I just put the word 'success' and saved.
When I try to access the contents of my file from a web browser
http://myDomainne.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/test.txt
I can't get it to work. It always redirects me to the "404 Not found" page, instead of displaying the 'success' content of my test.txt file.
I think it's a redirection problem caused by Cpanel or magento2.
I'm not able to validate my challenge, so I can't get a certificate for my domain.
I'm not sure if this is a problem or not, but I'd like to know how to fix it.
Thank you
