Hello,

As your issue is present even on the LetsEncrypt win simple client there's no way SolidCP can fix the issue in your case (as we just use their client).

The way to go around to get it working would probably be to contact them (i believe last time i gave you a github bug report link which was reported on this issue by someone else a while ago?)

Once it's fixed in their client it is simply replacing the files in the serverbinLetsEncrypt with their fixed version.

Regards,

Marco

It is a SolidCP error as far as I can tell.
If I unzip the letsencrypt-win-simple into a fresh new directory on the server and run it manually it works fine and can successfully create and bind certificates without error.

If I run the same commands from C:SolidCPServerbinLetsEncrypt I get an error. I run letsencrypt --test --verbose for debugging.

As you can see in the error below I have highlighted the solidcp error.
It references 'SolidCP.Providers.Web.IIs70' , but this is a IIS8.5 server:

Looking into this some more, it appears to be trying to use the iis7 dll instead of the iis8 one to carry out the domain authentication via the "create temporary application in IIS" method of certificate validation.

Or there is some kind of bad dll version reference somewhere as the correct version of the dll for this build is 1.4.0.0 and not the 1.1.2.0 quoted in the error message.

thought in last post you also tried the client with same result?

anyways if the client you downloaded works you can just replace it with the SolidCP's one. (copy over files).

Regarding the error linked:
FileName=”SolidCP.Providers.Web.IIs70, Version=1.1.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicK

Indicates an update has not gone succesfull at some point. (version requires to be equal which is 1.4.0.0, 1.1.2.0 is before 1.2 and 1.3.)

Reasons for this can be web.config in server module which doesn't have the iis dir at the bottom, other files that didn't update well etc.

(if web.config is correct you should be able to delete the iis7 from serverbin so it just remains in serverbiniis folders).
