SurgeMail Archive: Re: [SurgeMail List] g_ssl

Subject:	Re: [SurgeMail List] g_ssl_auto and apache and certbot
From:	Eric Vey

The location of my web files is: /var/www/ericvey.com/public_html so I made a /.well-known/acme-challenge in there, changed the g_ssl_lets_path to that and the update completed properly this time. I'm assuming the apache site is still using the old certificate. I'll have to google and see if there is something to do in the apache2.conf file to steer it to the new path. Getting late here. Thanks for your help. Eric Vey On Sunday 15/09/2019 at 8:54 pm, Surgemail Support wrote: Nope that failed. This request you can test manually with any web browser: http://ericvey.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/c2F60SZQ2829nEsjYX_1p00hA_fpRG_uShesdfHHK0g And it should work and give you a page with numbers in it. It looks like you set the path to: /home/httpd/html/.well-known/acme-challenge Check the apache config files to see where the 'html' path for "ericvey.com" maps to, I'm guessing it is going somewhere else....?

They only saw one certificate.

It's the path apache is going to use for any html files, you are telling surgemail where apache is going to look, so you have to start from knowing the apache path to html files... ChrisP.

What happens when you try that? chrisp. On 16/09/2019 3:33 AM, Eric Vey wrote: Hi, So I have a single ubuntu server for mail and web. Port 80 is for web and port 7080 is for webmail. g_webmail_port is set to 7080 only. All requests come to ericvey.com and I let the router do the work. There is no mail.ericvey.com, just ericvey.com. Let's encrypt certbot automagically set up the apache putting the certificate in /etc/letsencrypyt/live ... )you know the rest) Right now, I am back to g_ssl_lets_path because when I remove it and set g_ssl_auto to "true" I get this error when I run tellmail ssl_update. I don't really need to update the certificate, nor do I need (or want) a second one.
