LetsEncrypt - WELLKNOWN directory doesn't exist

Hi,

I followed the instructions from here (https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/LetsEncrypt/) but got stuck at:

"~/dehydrated/dehydrated --config ~/letsencrypt/config --cron --domain WWW.YOURDOMAIN.COM --out ~/letsencrypt --challenge http-01"

The error I get is

ERROR: WELLKNOWN directory doesn't exist, please create /home/YOURUSERNAME/letsencrypt/wellknown and set appropriate permissions.

However, the dir. exists (i.e. cd /home/BLP/letsencrypt/wellknown works) and permissions are set @ drwxrwxrwx for letsencrypt and drwxrwxrwx for wellknown.

Any ideas what I am missing?

Hmm. that is certainly quite weird. Looking at the instructions, my best guess is that in the instructions a couple steps above:

echo WELLKNOWN=/home/YOURUSERNAME/letsencrypt/wellknown > ~/letsencrypt/config

You probably did that incorrectly.
