Hi,

I'm suddenly having a problem with Syncrypt, such that my node is no longer accessible via its domain.

I just noticed it today, but now, when the letsyncrypt.js runs, it shows an "Uncaught exception: No challenges fulfilled!", or a "http.js line 147: Error: Unable to read status".

In the Terminal Server thread, I am also receiving a "1016 TLS ERROR 'Requested item not found in object' (-43 getting remote certificate)" error.

It seems that the Let's Encrypt script is no longer working somehow, since I did not change anything.

Anyone knows about this? Or experiencing the same?

Need help guys. Thank you!

Regards,
Wang Bu

Get the latest exec/letsyncrypt.js and load/http.js from gitlab (or vert) and try again. Usually there's more details available somewhere (e.g. via debug log output or whatever) - try running via 'jsexec -Ldebug' to see (and copy/paste) all the possible log output that should indicate the cause.

Hi Digital Man,

Thanks for the advise! I will try to download the latest letsyncrypt.js and http.js in a while, but thanks for the debug option so I could see the details of what's happening when I run the script.

Here's the debug log when I enabled the debug mode:

Thanks for the debug logs... I found out that it's my VPN connection no longer port forwarding to my servers in my PC, which after so much troubleshooting, was caused by a recent update to the Windows Insider builds.

After trying to isolate the problem, ultimately I had to roll back to the previous Insider build. Then it started working again. :)

I guess I have something to report to Windows Feedback regarding this. ^_^

Thanks for this.
I was getting a similar error. Opened port 80 and finally it went away.

command to verify.
./jsexec -Ldebug letsyncrypt.js
