    Maybe just a retry is all you needed?

    I'm still having an issue with Let's Encrypt. I'm still getting the error "Error fetching directory" and now mycert has expired and can't renew it and the web server is down.

    I can ping "acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org" and also reach the url "https://acme-staging-v02.api.letsencrypt.org/directory" but it's still not working. Not sure what happened because it was working fine.

    I have no outbound firewall rules in place and I have all the necessary ports open for inbound.

    Thanks for you help!

    Never mind. I was able to figure it out :)

    Wiped out the ini file and re-ran the script and then it worked.

    Thanks Rob! I actually was able to get it working. I responded to you in QWK earlier. I replaced the initial .INI file from an original SBBS installation and just re-an the script and everything worked an expected. My SBBS seems to be ok now with the SSL Cert for SMTP, IMAP and WEB. etc.

    Really appreciate your response.
