    I’m trying to generate an SSL cert and I am getting this error, “ERROR: Could not create key files due to file permission issues. Please check if folder permission is set to 0755.
    Syncing debug log”

    This WordPress is hosted locally on an internal network not accessible publicly. I have checked the .htaccess file permissions as well as wp-config.php, both are set to 755. Is it possible to generate an SSL site that is for internal use only? It’s running on a CENT OS build, latest version of WP.

    @nic12937 Let’s Encrypt SSL certificate authority requires site to be globally accessible to complete verification process thus you cannot generate SSL certificate for local host using our plugin.

    The issue with “unable to create key files” can be resolved by creating a directory named keys with 0755 permission in your WordPress folder.
