I run debian with nginx and to fix this I went to:

/home/admin/conf/web/domain.com.nginx.conf

and deleted this line (can't remember if I personally added it to force https on my server domain)

Code: Select all

return         301 https://domain.com;
Then tried to reinstall lets's encrypt again (previously tried unchecking it then checking it from the control panel). And it worked! SSL for the control panel is back, haven't tested for exim and dovecot as yet. Deleting the lso worked for ssl on user account domains updated with v-update-letsencrypt-ssl (let's encrypt never deleted so hopefully it should work with the cron job)

If you use apache I suggest you configure your htaccess file and see if that works. Given that someone had an issue with cloudflare forcing https maybe auto-updating isn't working that well and Let's Encrypt can't communicate to renew your certificate because you're forcing https which you don't have.

Here's to the next three months.

What worked for me:

In Cloudflare > Crypto > SSL set to OFF & Always use HTTPS set to OFF
/usr/local/vesta/bin/v-add-letsencrypt-domain user domain > Success!
In Vesta CP > User > Rebuild Web
Wait 60 seconds.
Return CF settings to previous setting.

All given fixes did not work for my servers. The only thing that did work was removing any configuration that was forcing https for each site. This was the case for both nginx+php-fpm and only apache2. Hopefully this is useful for someone else as well.

Hello!

Any fix found yet?
Both my Vesta servers are experiencing this same issue. I've waited for a update to fix this problem but the latest update didn't help at all.
I've now tried several fixes that people has suggested on the forums. Nothing has helped so far.

This issue is driving me crazy as I've waited so long for a fix but nothing has changed. Now I have 3 domains waiting for installation but they need also Let's Encrypt so I can't continue

I was able to resolve after deleting invalid DNS records.

I'm having the same issue with 3 VPS running VestaCP + CloudFlare!
After trying most of all the suggestions from here, this one was the one that helped me out!
Just annoyed by the fact that this is a toooo long manual process!
Is there any suggestion on how to automate this?
