Plesk

Let’s Encrypt auto renew is not working for domains or Plesk with renamed certificates

Symptoms

Cause

Let's Encrypt extension bug #EXTLETSENC-483 (Cannot auto-renew certificates in Plesk if they were renamed previously) which is planned to be fixed in future product updates.

Let's Encrypt auto-renew feature relies on certificate names and does not recognize certificate names other than Lets Encrypt example.com on domain level and Lets Encrypt certificate on server level..

Resolution

Until a fix became available, as a workaround, renew the certificate manually:

Securing Plesk

  1. Log in to Plesk.
  2. Renew the certificate manually in Tools & Settings > SSL/TLS Certificates > + Let's Encrypt:

 

Securing particular domain

  1. Log in to Plesk.
  2. Renew this certificate manually from Domains > example.com > SSL/TLS Certificates > Get it free.
