Renewal problem about acmephp HOT 5 CLOSED

It's seems like an issue with strategy.sjsu.edu site or the machine where you are making a new cert.
Are you sure that strategy.sjsu.edu is reachable? Have you tried a ping to the site?

Remember: when you are renewing a new cert, you need to remove any htaccess / nginx rule that avoid the http request (eg: redirect all to https).

Many thanks, TheJoin95, for your suggestions.

The http / port 80 traffic was being redirected to port 443. I have now reopened http access on port 80.
I have removed the old certificates from server.
I generated a new set using 'authorize'
I created the new challenge file
I checked that the site is reachable - the challenge URL displays the contents of the file in .well-known/acme-challange
I then ran 'check' again and got this:

php acmephp.phar check strategy.sjsu.edu
Loading account key pair...
Loading the authorization token for domain strategy.sjsu.edu ...
Testing the challenge...

[GuzzleHttp\Exception\RequestException]

Any suggestions as to what I should do next?

Dear Miki
I have resolved the problem by using check -t strategy.sjsu.edu instead of check strategy.sjsu.edu. I have no idea why that worked but it allowed me to proceed to the certificate request and the site is now back up and running with certificates in place.
Thanks very much for your suggestion

You may have to request a new authorization challenge.

What's about using the new "run" command?

from acmephp.

I am closing this issue as it seems to be solved, don't hesitate to answer or create another one if it is not. Note you can also use the new run command which should be much easier to setup and reuse :) .
