Froxlor: Let's Encrypt errors for cancelled domain

Publication date: 2020-05-21

Issue: Froxlor master cron job fails every 5 minutes with Let's Encrypt error

When getting up today, my mailbox was full of notifications on failed Froxlor cron script executions.

The script

 /usr/bin/nice -n 5 /usr/bin/php -q /var/www/froxlor/scripts/froxlor_master_cronjob.php --tasks 1> /dev/null

failed with

  "detail": "Error creating new order :: too many failed authorizations recently: see https://letsencrypt.org/docs/rate-limits/",

Solution: Remove cancelled domain from Froxlor domain list

The cause of the problem was simple and straight-forward. Two weeks ago I cancelled one of my many domains. When the Let's Encrypt certificate was due for removal, Froxlor attempted to renew it. This failed for obvious reasons (visible in another error notification):

Cancelled domains thus need to be removed from the Froxlor panel so that no certificate renewals are attempted any more.
