"Successfully received certificate.Success if displayed
The following certificate is obtained under [/etc/letsencrypt/live/<FQDN>] as described in the message
cert.pem ⇒ SSL server certificate (including public key)
chain.pem ⇒ intermediate certificate
fullchain.pem ⇒ File containing cert.pem and chain.pem combined
privkey.pem ⇒ private key
※ Obtaining a Let's Encrypt certificate when the web server is not running
It is a prerequisite that the server on which the work is to be performed is accessible from the Internet at port 80.
Use the simple Web server function by specifying [--standalone].
# -d [FQDN from which you want to obtain a certificate
# FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) : Hostname. Domain name without abbreviation
# If there are multiple FQDNs for which you want to obtain certificates, specify multiple -d [FQDNs for which you want to obtain certificates]
1 |
# certbot certonly --standalone -d <FQDN> |
Renewing certificates already obtained
# Renew all certificates with an expiration date of less than 30 days
# If you want to renew regardless of the number of days remaining on the expiration date, specify [--force-renewal] as well
1 |
# certbot [--force-renewal] renew |
1.2 Automatic renewal of certificates (Let's Encrypt)
①Pre-registration testing
First, test the automatic update using the following --dry-run option.
With this option, certificates are not renewed, only checked, so there is no need to worry about getting caught in the limit on the number of times a certificate can be obtained.
1 |
# certbot renew --dry-run |

2. Converting Apache to https
Install the following
1 |
# dnf -y install mod_ssl |
2.1 Edit ssl.conf file
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 |
# vi /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf Line 43 Uncomment and change DocumentRoot "/var/www/html/<FQDN>" Line 44 Uncomment and change ServerName <FQDN>:443 Line 85 Make it a comment and add it below # SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/<FQDN>/cert.pem Line 93 Make it a comment and add it below # SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/localhost.key SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/<FQDN>/privkey.pem Line 103 add SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/<FQDN>/chain.pem |
Restart Apache.
1 |
# systemctl restart httpd |
Allow https in Firewall
1 2 3 4 |
# firewall-cmd --add-service=https --permanent success # firewall-cmd --reload success |
2.2 Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
Create .htaccess under /var/www/html/<FQDN>/.
Contents of .htaccess
1 2 3 |
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] |
3. SSL/TLS (Let's Encrypt) settings on the mail server
3.1 Obtaining a certificate for the mail server
Obtain a certificate for the mail server, but it cannot be obtained in the same way as above, so the following with the "--standalone" option fails.
1 |
# certbot certonly --standalone -d mail.<domain name> |
If I stop the web server and then do it, it succeeds as follows
1 2 |
# systemctl stop httpd.service # certbot certonly --standalone -d mail.<domain name> |
