I have added the SSLOpenSSLConfCmd DHParameters /etc/apache2/dh4096.pem into my ssl.conf file wich is located in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ directory. I hope this is the correct place to add that.
After this the guide wants me to add “/.well-known/acme-challenge” in my Virtual host directive for port 80. But what file contains this directive ? I feel like a noob for not finding this.
Further down the guide they also want me to adopt my virtual host block. Where exactly do i find this ?
Im running Raspbian on my raspberry 3 b+
Googled like a crazy man to find answers but im a bit stuck at the moment.
if the linked documentation doesn’t clarify all of your questions then i think it could make sense to request to add this information at the documentation tracker below so everyone can benefit from the additional information.
Well, even if this might be true, I’m not sure that this is a good place for getting help on a pure apache2 config topic. Personally I cannot help you on this, sorry.
Why is that? I am following a guide made by somone at owncloud or how you say it. Something in this guide is confusing me.
So what better place then this is there to ask questions about it? And as tom42 says, it would be good to update the guide to make it easier to understand for everyone.
I am happy to receive replys, but please try to stay with the topic.
while i think the documentation on this topic could be improved we probably need to be aware that this documentation for 3rdparty components like Apache and Let’s Encrypt is provided for convenience.
The documentation probably requires to have some knowledge about that components (e.g. what is a Apache Vhost and where can i find its configuration on my setup?) and probably also can’t cover all aspects / variants of it down to the very basics.
Personally i’m also not able to help on initial question as i don’t know your environment and how you have configured it. So it might be still possible (even with the github issue reported) that you need to consult the Apache / Let’s Encrypt manuals for some additional help.
maybe your expectations of a forums like this are too high? Personally if i’m having issues with e.g. Apache or Let’s Encrypt i would try to ask the questions / for help in a forums related to both programs in the first place and not in a forums which are using those.
Then considering to switch too another cloud service looks to me quite drastically, maybe you can try to get some answers in e.g. one of the following resources instead?
Hi,
I have a similar issue. I also followed the guide https://doc.owncloud.org/server/10.0/admin_manual/installation/letsencrypt/apache.html and apache itself was working fine and showing all of my other subdomains allright with the letsencrypt certificate. A previously (without letsencrypt) working instance of owncloud would show up but as soon as I try to login, it would throw an error like " openssl_pkey_get_details() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given" and not log me in.
I finally had to take out the “SSLOpenSSLConfCmd DHParameters /etc/apache2/dh4096.pem” and without it, it is working all fine now. I tried one full day changing config back and forth and the solution was only not using this single line! I hope this helps someone.
Cheers, Joachim
