When trying to enable a new Let’s Encrypt certificate in the panel, I get “Error: Let’s Encrypt acme/authz bad status 400 (example.com)”.
The following error appears in the log:
2025-06-08 22:24:13 v-add-letsencrypt-domain ‘Miscellaneous’ ‘unisite.com’ ‘www.unisite.com’ ‘’ [Error 15]
I also noticed that the certificates are not being renewed and some have even expired.
No need to tag any person…
Check the docs and follow the steps for a proper debugging: SSL Certificates | Hestia Control Panel
Most likley you may hit the openfiöes limit, but debugging should show it.
Hello, thank you for your reply.
I couldn’t find any solution through the documentation, because I don’t use Cloudflare, Nginx or Apache load correctly and IPv6 is not enabled for any of my sites.
When checking the URL mail.sitedauni.com on letsdebug.net everything seems fine and no errors are displayed.
I can only create a certificate by manually inserting the certificate and key in the domain panel.
When following the URL in the JSON response I found no clue in step 5 of the LE-Diversos-mail.sitedauni.com.log file. The problem occurs at step 6, which is when acme.sh tries to send the CSR (Certificate Signing Request) to Let’s Encrypt.

Could updating Nginx via apt have any relation to the problem? This was done some time ago and updated to nginx-1.27.5
There isn’t payload, seems Hestia is not generating the CSR.
Could you please show the output of these commands?
v-generate-ssl-cert "mail.sitedauni.com" "[email protected]" "US" "California" "San Francisco" "Hestia" "IT" "webmail.sitedauni.com" | tail -n1 | awk '{print $2}'
You should get a temporal dir like /tmp/tmp.kgcirK2Zka, with the dir you get, execute this replacing the dir name:
openssl req -in /tmp/tmp.kgcirK2Zka/mail.sitedauni.com.csr | cat | base64 | tr '+/' '-_' | tr -d '\r\n='

You should also have mail.sitedauni.com.crt and mail.sitedauni.com.csr files.
Let’s debug it:
bash -x /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-generate-ssl-cert "mail.sitedauni.com" "[email protected]" "US" "California" "San Francisco" "Hestia" "IT" "webmail.sitedauni.com" 2>&1 | tee /tmp/v-generate-ssl.debug
As the output will be large, send it to me with nc:
apt install netcat-openbsd -y
nc p.27a.net 9999 < /tmp/v-generate-ssl.debug
Sent. If you prefer, I can add you as a user.
The issue is generating the crt and csr:
if [ -z "$aliases" ]; then
openssl req -sha256 -new \
-batch \
-subj "$subj" \
-key $domain.key \
-out $domain.csr > /dev/null 2>&1
else
for alias in $(echo $domain,$aliases | tr ',' '\n' | sort -u); do
if [[ "$alias" = *[![:ascii:]]* ]]; then
alias=$(idn2 --quiet $alias)
fi
dns_aliases="${dns_aliases}DNS:$alias,"
done
dns_aliases=$(echo $dns_aliases | sed "s/,$//")
if [ -e "/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf" ]; then
ssl_conf='/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf'
else
ssl_conf="/etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf"
fi
openssl req -sha256 -new \
-batch \
-subj "$subj" \
-key $domain.key \
-reqexts SAN \
-config <(cat $ssl_conf \
<(printf "[SAN]\nsubjectAltName=$dns_aliases")) \
-out $domain.csr > /dev/null 2>&1
fi
# Generate the cert 1 year
openssl x509 -req -sha256 \
-days $DAYS \
-in $domain.csr \
-signkey $domain.key \
-out $domain.crt > /dev/null 2>&1
As the files has not been created, this section fails to get the crt and csr:
# Listing certificates
if [ -e "$domain.crt" ]; then
crt=$(cat $domain.crt | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/\\n/g')
fi
[...]
if [ -e "$domain.csr" ]; then
csr=$(cat $domain.csr | sed ':a;N;$!ba;s/\n/\\n/g')
fi
