#5620 SSL Certs failing on non-Virtualmin hosts

[Tom MacKenzie]

My SSL certs for my nameservers quit working about two weeks ago.

Failed to request certificate : No virtual host matching ns1.vavias.com was found. That is the hostname of the machine. I never had Virtualmin installed on my nameservers. Any idea?

Same thing on ns2.vavias.com

What action are you taking in Virtualmin that triggers that "No virtual host matching" error?

[Tom MacKenzie]

No virtualmin on these hosts. Going directly to Webmin - Webmin
Configuration - SSL Encryption.I had a legit subscription until a few weeks
ago.

I can give you access to the host if it helps.

Thanks,
Tom

Ok, that error means that Webmin couldn't find an Apache virtualhost entry for ns1.vavias.com . In the Apache module, what virtual hosts does it show that you do have?

[Tom MacKenzie]

Hey, Apache is not actually running on the host. Is there a way to get a cert for the nginx (that's what Webmin runs on right?) server? These are only nameservers and the only issue I have is that Brave browser refuses to connect to the Webmin console without proper SSL. In Edge, it will allow me to connect anyway, but would rather have it properly secured. Also, these are both slave nameservers to the non-publicly available master. As always, thanks Jamie.

[Jamie Cameron]

Ah ... sorry, right now there is no support for using Nginx to request a Let's Encrypt cert, sorry.

[luison]

Anyone found a solution for this?
I agree that Webmin should allow some form of node,nginx or simple http server for lets encrypt validation and not only a virtualmin/apache option.

[Jamie Cameron]

The latest few Webmin releases support certbot's stand-alone webserver mode to validate certs, which can be used if you don't have Apache or Nginx running.
