Letsencrypt SSL certificate not validated

[ericovk]

I just installed the Let's encrypt certificate on my server. Before installing, I updated the letsencrypt install script and set letsencrypt=1 in the directadmin.conf file.
Installation seems to went well:

DirectAdmin certificate has been setup.
Setting up cert for Exim...
Setting up cert for WWW server...
Setting up cert for FTP server...
The services will be restarted in about 1 minute via the dataskq.
Certificate for server.thiscould.be has been created successfully!

But the browser says no: "This certificate was signed by an unknown authority"
The certificate is signed by "Let's Encrypt Authority X3".

I run Directadmin 1.50.1.

Hello,

You might need to define carootcert

echo "carootcert=/usr/local/directadmin/conf/carootcert.pem" >> /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf

for this and restart Directadmin.

Perfect, that did the trick. Thanks a lot!

DA is working properly, but when I try to get a certificate for a user domain I first have to "manually debug /.well-known/acme-challenge/letsencrypt_12345".

After I fixed that, the (sub)domain is loading the SSL of the server's hostname. Both are subdomains. Could that be the problem?

If you install a cert in Directadmin for a subdomain then it should show subdomain's cert, not server hostname's. Make sure to restart apache with

killall -9 httpd
service httpd start

Damn, you're good. Thanks again!
