Hello,

You should check that the Windows task manager for WACS and see if its still running?

@ice Hello, Yes it is. You should find it at C:\SolidCP\Server asp.net v4.5\bin\LetsEncrypt\wacs.exe

 

You can also run the exe directly to find errors with domains.

@trobinson

I found it however for me it is in C:\SolidCP\Server\bin\LetsEncrypt\wacs.exe

I keep getting unauthorized error with status 403

I dont understand what has happened here, I havnt messed with the site for months only to find it hasnt renewed ssl for about just as long.

@ice Sounds like LE is unable to access the /.well-known/acme-challenge folder on the domain. Maybe you have password protection or prevent access via the web.config?

@trobinson I havnt set anything apart from the default settings when i set the site up, I installed everything got the site running with ssl ftp etc and left it run on its own, what would of changed to make this happen?, Shouldnt it of just run and updated on its own without so much user interaction?

@ice In theory that is the case but alot of websites will modify the web.config for example to redirect users with pretty urls which can effect the access to the LE verification files.
