Re: [users@httpd] acme-challenge folder exists but 404 contents
This sounds as if you have loaded "mod_md" and it has taken over the /.well-known/acme-challenge folder. This was a bug in that module which has been fixed in subsequent releases. If you do not use mod_md, the easiest remedy is to not load it into your server. If you want to use mod_md together with other Lets Encrypt clients such as certbot, you need to upgrade to a recent Apache httpd version or get the module from github and compile it yourself.

Hi Jerry, Zitat von Jerry Malcolm : I have an apache install that has been up and running for months. I use LetEncrypt for certificates. I went to renew all of my certificates using an automated script that worked fine 3 months ago on the last refresh. It failed on every domain saying the challenge file was not found. I put a test.html file in /.well-known/acme-challenge folder, and tried to access it with a browser, and it gave me a 404. After moving the test.html file around into other folders, it was found correctly in every folder except acme-challenge. [...] what's in the Apache logs? The access log should report the 404, is there anything related in the error logs?

Re: [users@httpd] acme-challenge folder exists but 404 contents
Update... I finally went back to my Sept conf and vhosts files. With the old configuration files, acme-challenge folder became available again. So I was able to get my certs refreshed, and I then restored the current conf files. That at least tells me it's something in the conf files. But I really don't want to make this my official process every three months when I refresh the certs. I guess I'll start with an A-B comparison of the conf files. But the only real significant change I can remember in the last three months was enabling http 2.0. Doesn't seem to me that anything in that area of config would be locking out folders with certain names (??). In any case, I can brute-force this and back out changes one by one. But if any of you have a hint as to what could be happening causing one specifically-named folder to be blocked (or a way to dig deeper into logs to figure it out), it'll save me a lot of time and effort.

[users@httpd] acme-challenge folder exists but 404 contents
I have an apache install that has been up and running for months. I use LetEncrypt for certificates. I went to renew all of my certificates using an automated script that worked fine 3 months ago on the last refresh. It failed on every domain saying the challenge file was not found. I put a test.html file in /.well-known/acme-challenge folder, and tried to access it with a browser, and it gave me a 404. After moving the test.html file around into other folders, it was found correctly in every folder except acme-challenge.
