Pound doesn’t have its own web server – you can’t give it a folder to read static files from.
You are correct that you can define some error templates, which it outputs verbatim to the stream.. If you wanted to be tricky I guess you could define a service with no backends, and then repurpose the 503 error response. Or you run the letsencrypt client itself on port 81, and just leave the backend running.

Following Joe advice, I did not install apache or nginx on the pound server... It itself is able to serve its own error page... So, I am quite sure that the server has the minimum needed to serve the .well_known files. (At least, I don't remember...) Best regards to all.

You can do any number of URL based redirects to whatever ports you wish. Why isn’t a forward to apache sufficient for your needs? Lets Encrypt just needs a file in that folder, correct? Another option is to run a local webserver (nginx, etc) on the pound server, on a separate port (i.e. 81), and redirect .well-known URLS to that server. (So you can run the perl script, or whatever) ------ Joe On 12/5/17, 4:14 PM, "Alan" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, I've posted my question on https://serverfault.com/questions/886583/how-to-configure-pound-proxy-to-pass-requests-to-well-known-directory, however it seems not many people are well familiar with Pound, so I've found out I needed to subscribe to this mailing list to get support. We have Apache running behind Pound and so we are having troubles with Let's Encrypt requests and renewals, and need to pass requests to the .well-known directory and its sub-directories directly to Apache port. Could anyone explain how to do this on Pound? Thanks! -- To unsubscribe send an email with subject unsubscribe to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>.
