Chris Lees Posted August 22, 2020 Report Share Posted August 22, 2020 I have used Certbot for Windows to generate LetsEncrypt certificate files. This process has worked correctly, and I've checked the MD5 hash using openssl and they match too. However, when I assign them to the vhost in the Apache conf file and try to start Apache, I get the message "Apache failed to start". My SSL directives in the VirtualHost section of the conf file are: SSLCertificateChainFile "${US_ROOTF}/Certbot/live/dev.harc.uk/chain.pem" SSLCertificateFile "${US_ROOTF}/Certbot/live/dev.harc.uk/fullchain.pem" SSLCertificateKeyFile "${US_ROOTF}/Certbot/live/dev.harc.uk/privkey.pem" SSLEngine On When I get the error message it is in a popup. However, nothing is written to the log files in c:\UniServerZ\core\apache2\logs - in fact if I delete all the log files and try to start Apache, no log files are even created. I have non-SSL virtual hosts working perfectly well in this server. I am also using port 8080 for http and 8081 for https. Any ideas how I can debug this problem? Thanks in advance.

sbourdon Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Hello, Did you find a way to fix this? I'm having the same problem and if you could share the solution, I would really appreciate it! Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sudeepjd Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Ok.. This has been something that I have been thinking about implementing into UniformServer for some time now. I just have not time to do the research work to implement it, after I took over the UniformServer maintenance. Can you please DM me so that we can work together and implement the Let's Encrypt SSL certs into UniformServer. Thanks Quote Sudeep D'SouzaDeveloper at UniformServerThe Uniform Server | My Paper Napkin Collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannockburn Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Sudeep, I realize it has only been a couple of weeks, but have you been able to find time to start looking into the LET's Encrypt integration? I'd be interested in your progress. I use Let's Encrypt to manual insert certs into my sites hosted elsewhere. However, I have used UniformServer for many years for local web services and now find a need to add certs to these sites as well. I am just looking into this now, but if you've made any progress, I'd rather not duplicate efforts, or at least leverage your research. Thanks for any insights.

sudeepjd Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 @Bannockburn Not yet.. Right now more focused on getting the version with PHP8 into the wild. Will take up the Let's Encrypt SSL integration after that. I know it has been a long pending item on my radar. Just not getting the time to focus on the development aspect of things. Thank you for your patience. Quote Sudeep D'SouzaDeveloper at UniformServerThe Uniform Server | My Paper Napkin Collection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbourdon Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 I've followed instructions provided here and was able to secure Uniform Server: https://www.naturalborncoder.com/linux/2021/01/27/how-to-setup-lets-encrypt-for-apache-on-windows/ Hope this helps!
