Where is document root to add for certbot
-
Hello,
I use
certbot certonly --webroot -w /data/site -d domain.com
to generate SSL Certificate, but I get error 404:IMPORTANT NOTES: - The following errors were reported by the server: Domain: domain.com Type: unauthorized Detail: Invalid response from http://domain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/Pm0OGln2RSQcDYSg8YOyOnAwUlff8D3wt-H62vtOVQQ [IP]: 404
But in my
nginx
web-server,root /data/site
is there and my website works fine.What should I do for this?

@inna Does /root/data/site/.well-known/acme-challenge directory exist? And if so, does nginx have permissions to write there? If not then the response to the challenge cannot be met.
You could also do something like this w/your nginx config:
server { listen 80; server_name forums.example.com; # set up let's encrypt location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge { alias /var/www/certbot; } return 302 https://$server_name$request_uri; }
I do not use certbot so am unfamiliar with the specifics. But basically the location line creates an alias to some dir outside of your nodebb home, so as to keep that certbot separate.
See nginx alias directive documentation for more complete explanation.
On related note, I favor Dehydrated Boulders.
Have fun!

In this scenario that we suppose
/data/site
is the root of my website, I tried adding a/data/site/saeed.html
but I got error 404. So this is not the index path.
I want to know where should I addsaeed.html
so that I can access it viahttp://domain.com/saeed.html

Have you tried setting up nginx normally to serve your site and using
certbot --nginx
?
