Validation failure/increase logging

[ghost]

Is it possible to increase the logging in some way as I keep getting Validation failures but with little info as to what is the cause:

       ================================================================================
       Error executing action `create` on resource 'acme_certificate[test.xxx]'
       ================================================================================

       RuntimeError
       ------------
       [test.xxx] Validation failed for domain test.xxx

       Cookbook Trace:
       ---------------
       /tmp/kitchen/cache/cookbooks/acme/providers/certificate.rb:85:in `block (2 levels) in class_from_file'
       /tmp/kitchen/cache/cookbooks/acme/providers/certificate.rb:53:in `map'
       /tmp/kitchen/cache/cookbooks/acme/providers/certificate.rb:53:in `block in class_from_file'

It's meaning is that the ACME validation server is unable to download the token file from your website. So either your webserver has problems, or the folder where the tokens are placed it not served on the correct URL etc. Try with a browser if you can request it or not.

Sorry I'm new to this sort of things. Do you mean that the .well-known folder must be visible under 'mydomain.com/.well-know/asd123'?

[thoutenbos]

For validation the cookbook will get a token from the validation server and place it in a file, this file must be exposed via your webserver, where the validation server will request it to confirm that it matches. This is the proof of ownership of your domain.

The path where the token should be exposed is: mydomain.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/[token]
