fuzmic Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 Hi support As my topic state I have run out of free SSL as I wait patiently for the new cpanel. What can you guys suggest to drag me out this state. Help!
Krydos Posted May 16, 2022 Posted May 16, 2022 I assume you're referring to ZeroSSL providing 3 sets of 90 day free certificates, and now they're trying to charge you? You could get a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt. This is what I use to make my Let's Encrypt certificates on Windows https://github.com/do-know/Crypt-LE/releases I believe Comodo offers free 90 day certificates too. I haven't used them though.
fuzmic Posted May 17, 2022 Author Posted May 17, 2022 Thanks Krydos. I did superficially tinker with 'Let's encrypt' but I encountered a steep learning curve. I will give it a serious crack using your link. Cheers.
fuzmic Posted May 17, 2022 Author Posted May 17, 2022 Have a look at GitHub but .. don't know to get started .. need a whack to get going .. HELP😁
Krydos Posted May 17, 2022 Posted May 17, 2022 Download the le64.exe file from the link I posted, and then run it through the command prompt with something like this, but change the values to match your domain. le64.exe -email "krydos@example.com" -key account.key -csr krydos.csr -csr-key krydos.key -crt krydos.crt -domains "krydos.heliohost.org" -generate-missing --live Let us know if you need more help.
fuzmic Posted May 17, 2022 Author Posted May 17, 2022 Thank you Bro Thank you for the paddling along .. will see how it sail
fuzmic Posted May 18, 2022 Author Posted May 18, 2022 KryDos can i put this in doit.cmd and run it from command prompt le64.exe -email "mygmail@gmail.com" -key account.key -csr peace2u.csr -csr-key peace2u.key -crt peace2u.crt -domains "peace2u.heliohost.org" -generate-missing --live Is my script right please advise. What happen when i run it. What should i do after this screwshot response. Much appreciate.
fuzmic Posted May 18, 2022 Author Posted May 18, 2022 KryDos Sir, there is no folder "acme-challenge" being created in public_html/.well-known. No email being sent to my specified gmail. If i try to run the script in .cmd, it says that i it is already registered with a given regNo. I find 3 files in the folder in my pc running the cmd script: peace2u.key, peace2u.csr & account.key. What do i do with these 3 files?? Meanwhile i have put them in folder /0fr in root directory just in case you can use it already. 🤞 Assuming i got i almost right with more help from you, how long this SSL licence. If it expired what do i do to renew it. 😃

Expand The tool runs on your local computer and doesn't talk to the server. You're supposed to use the data shown to manually create the challenge file on the server. Run it again, then when you get to that step, create a text file with the name listed (make sure to remove the txt extension) containing the value shown. Then, use FTP to create a .well-known folder inside public_html (or if it's something like an addon domain, whatever the docroot is for the domain you're ordering the cert for), then create an acme-challenge folder inside it. Upload the file you made into the acme-challenge folder. Once the file is uploaded, press enter, it'll validate the challenge and generate a certificate. The files you listed are just two keys and a CSR (cert signing request). LE did not actually generate and sign a cert since you didn't do the challenge process.
fuzmic Posted May 18, 2022 Author Posted May 18, 2022 Oh! Wolstech Bro I think I got you .. so I will create the file with a very long name with a long text string in a . well-known/acme- challenge folder then press Enter .. the result after 'When done, press <Enter>" following your advice & prompting 2022/05/18 22:56:44 Domain verification results for 'peace2u.heliohost.org': success. 2022/05/18 22:56:44 You can now delete the '2wsp95Yhylh2O4skLhonaT75A9KryL3lLTxg _UwxVQA' file. 2022/05/18 22:56:44 Requesting domain certificate. 2022/05/18 22:56:45 Requesting issuer's certificate. 2022/05/18 22:56:45 Saving the full certificate chain to peace2u.crt. 2022/05/18 22:56:45 The job is done, enjoy your certificate! Anything else to do with the created peace2.crt in my pc meanwhile place in 0fr folder. How to check is SSL is working, up to this point https://peace2u.heliohost.org not secured.
wolstech Posted May 18, 2022 Posted May 18, 2022 Place the .crt and the key files on the server so Krydos can install them for you
fuzmic Posted May 18, 2022 Author Posted May 18, 2022 Wolstech Roger, Thanks. Krydos please find the 2 key files & the crt in root/0fr folder. THANKS GUYS.
Krydos Posted May 19, 2022 Posted May 19, 2022 Good job! You did it right. There you go https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=peace2u.heliohost.org
fuzmic Posted May 19, 2022 Author Posted May 19, 2022 Thanks bro for your lead ..cheers should be to you. Kind regards
