Error add txt for domain:_acme-challenge

killuhbyte

Hello all, I am having issues setting up ACME certificates for Cloudflare DNS. When I issue a production Lets Encrypt certificate I get :

Error add txt for domain:_acme-challenge.subdomain.domain.com

I am using HAProxy and Acme for certificates. I created an api key for this and it still gives me the error. Any advice on this?

Thank you.

This is the minimum amount of information needed for a Cloudflare-configured, single account, single zone ACME DNS challenge. If yours mostly matches, then the issue is on the Cloudflare account/API token side:

@tinfoilmatt my settings match yours and only in production it tells me that the domain is invalid. I have created the api key and it keeps giving me the same error over and over again.

@killuhbyte Without reviewing /tmp/acme/firewall-cert/acme_issuecert.log to possibly discern more, the script appears to be failing at actually reading the zone file—or failing to match it to what you've entered under "Domainname".

Relevant code:

  _debug "First detect the root zone"
  if ! _get_root "$fulldomain"; then
    _err "invalid domain"
    return 1
  fi

Without seeing more of your configuration, there's something wrong with the "Domainname", the API Token, or the Zone ID.

How is the token configured on the Cloudflare side?
