Topic: Suddenly getting lots of theses reports

[DanB35]

I'm sorry. I installed a contrib following the how-to. It didn't work as expected. As a matter of fact, it's not only the port 80 to open. If I knew that also port 443 has to be opened, I could have reported earlier the output which I gave in the bugtracker.

Neither Stefano nor I was considering that your firewall might block outbound connections as well.  The wiki has now been updated to more clearly describe the requirements at https://wiki.contribs.org/Letsencrypt#Prerequisites.

I agree with Dan

most of our contribs are done to add features hiding all the complications.

If something isn't working (but it used to do) the only right approach is to open a bug and start digging/debugging
just coming here saying "it doesn't work" is useless and doesn't help devs (and, above all, other users) to make a better product.

Pardon me - I don't remember saying/acting like this?

mine was not a direct answer to you, I apologize.

the main rule is "if something doesn't work out of the box it's likely a bug, so open a bug in bugzilla"

I'd love not to have bugs in our product.. this is impossible, indeed, and all of us will be glad to help everyone.. we just need a good bug report and good feedback.. spending time here ranting about something that doesn't work won't help anybody.

I'm really sorry you had these problems: letsencrypt is working fine for me but I agree that this is not enough.

let's work together to solve your problem
