acme-namecheap

WIP

acme-cpanel.sh reads in a list of domains from one or more files. These files may only contain domains and empty lines (see domains.txt for example format).

"www." subdomains will be added automatically (do not add them to the domains file list).

Notes

The --method webroot may require the following additions to .htaccess so that challenges are not automatically redirected to https:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^\.well-known/.+ - [END]

Installation

Command-line (Linux):

• Move script to user home directory on the server: scp ./* username@ip:port:~
• Log in to server: ssh user@ip -p port
• Make script executable: chmod +x $HOME/acme-cpanel.sh
• Run script (ex. $HOME/acme-cpanel.sh -s multisites)
• Follow prompts to enter credentials, issue certificates, and deploy them
• Double-check that the acme cron job is enabled: crontab -l

cPanel:

• Use File Manager to upload files to the home directory (/home/username/)
• You may need to make file executable in Terminal: chmod +x $HOME/acme-cpanel.sh
• Use Terminal to run the script (ex. $HOME/acme-cpanel.sh -s multisites)
• Follow prompts to enter credentials, issue certificates, and deploy them
• Use Cron Jobs app to double-check that the acme cron job is present
