Greetings, I finally got Phoenix working on a sub-domain of my website. However, I still need to get an SSL certificate set up, and I’m getting weird errors. Here is my Apache configuration so far for the sub-domain: <VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin admin@mywebsite.com ServerName ex.mywebsit…

Sure, no problem. Basically, I came across a good solution here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37216626/elixir-phoenix-production-server-has-issue-with-letsencrypt-renewal In the router.ex file, I set up a snipet for the .well-known directory: scope "/.well-known", MyAppWeb do pipe_thro…

The error is because you are forwarding everything to phoenix, including the cerbot’s challenge, which is a static file generated on the fly by certbot. The easiest thing to do is to get the certbot working before setting up any reverse proxy. You do not nee the challenge response to renew the cert,…

Thanks a lot, I greatly appreciate it. This did the trick.

Since it’s almost 90 days, LetsEncrypt is giving me errors that the auto renew is not working. I need some help getting LetsEncrypt installed correctly. As I’ve learned more about Phoenix, there have been some changes and I can’t remember how I got LetsEncrypt installed the first time. Here is my s…

Just a stab in the dark here. Do you have .well-known as a static dir in endpoint.ex?

I do not. I’m not exactly sure what I’m supposed to do for this LetsEncrypt thing. Here is what I have: /lib/exchat_web/endpoint.ex defmodule ExchatWeb.Endpoint do use Phoenix.Endpoint, otp_app: :exchat @session_options [ store: :cookie, key: "_exchat_key", signing_salt: "0MwdBngh" …

In endpoint.ex, with respect to .well-known, I am using it to access apple-app-site-association file in there and this is how I successfully access it(note the “~w” line): # Serve at "/" the static files from "priv/static" directory. # # You should set gzip to true if you are running phx.dige…

Thanks for the hint. Are you using a sub-domain for your setup? I added .well-known to the “~w” line and ran the LetsEncrypt call: sudo certbot certonly --webroot --webroot-path / -n -d ex.mysite.com --deploy-hook "systemctl reload apache2" --dry-run but it’s still not working. The LetsEncrypt er…

How about you try making a trivial mytestfile text file in .well-known and try accessing it over http?

I’m not even sure how to create a text file in .well-known inside Phoenix’s system. It’s not like the normal linux system that I am used to where you can just mkdir .well-known and vim mytestfile inside it. ‘.well-known’ inside phoenix isn’t even part of the linux filesystem for the certbot call. Th…

Ok, I did a little searching and came across your earlier post: Serving .well-known/apple-app-site-association Works in Development env but returns Phoenix.HTML.Safe error in Release - #3 by maz So I was able to add a directory: /assets/static/.well-known/test.txt /assets/static/.well-known/acme-c…
