I'm very sorry, to repeat this issue. maybe also, I've stopped our discussion.
it may be seems, that discussion was "closed" by me ;-(

And: I'm in a horrible sorrow! there someone, who can't access to the website, becvause they are coming from a https-address.
normally my adress ist http://mysobdomain.mydomain.de. but an automated link from an httpsadress, its horrible for the browser, and more horrible to user, they don't know to react.

okay, here again:

  1. I have it installed on may 2017 with this:
    machine:~/.acme.sh # ./acme.sh --issue --apache -d mysubdomain.mydomain.de -d www.mysubdomain.mydomain.de
    -> here's is the declaration, it was installed with --apache !!!

  2. it runs with cron until beginning or end of dec.2017:
    50 23 * * * root /root/.acme.sh/acme.sh --cron --home /root/.acme.sh --log /var/log/acme.log > /dev/null

  3. after beginning or end of dec.2017 I have found errors like this:
    ...

  4. jan.2018 I have done:
    acme.sh --upgrade
    upgrading vom 2.7.2 to actual version 2.7.6
    no error, no problem on upgrade.

thats is to do?
where have I to specify "validation method"?
user "publicarray" has argued, that I have forgotten one option. I think, I havn't! ;-)

thanks a lot
Yours klaus

please add a line in the file `/root/.acme.sh/mysubdomain.mydomain.de/mysubdomain.mydomain.de.conf'

Le_Webroot='apache'

Then try again.

great!
no sorrow anymore!

it means: in *.conf must have been written:
Le_Webroot=....... 'apache' or something other.

is it a good idea: to specify the errormessage?! ;-)

thanks a lot!
yours klaus

The line Le_Webroot='apache' should have been written in the conf file before automatically.
I don't know why it was missing.

I was still hitting this error today, adding --standalone to command line arguments did nothing, but I was able to fix it by changing Le_Webroot='' to Le_Webroot='no' inside the <domain-name>/<domain-name.conf> file.
