Greetings !
Distribution : Centos 7.5.1804
Virtualmin Version : 6.05
I have two servers, both with VirtualMin. The first server has some weird issues, it was the first time I discovered VirtualMin. The second one is fine.
My first server has issues like : - Nginx was installed in /opt/ , which makes the Nginx panel useless because it wont work even when settings are routed to /opt/nginx/
SSL won't work properly, so I had to install certbox myself
Issues with permissions
I had problems with PHP and had to reinstall PHP-FPM and make changes manually to make it all work
On my second server I can see nginx was properly installed in /etc/nginx, not /opt
I would like to correct these issues myself so I can enjoy having a panel.
Could you point me in the right directions ? Can I edit settings to make my installation great again ?
Thank you ! Best Regards,
I did not find out why the config files where in /opt/, but I was able to make work the listed vhosts of the Nginx Module by simply setting up the Module Config at the top left of Webmin > Servers > Nginx WebServer page.
The setting that I forgot is "File or directory for new virtual hosts". I set it up as /opt/nginx/conf/vhost/* and no all works !
Next step is to repair the SSL dashboard, which doesn't work. I installed manually certbot in order to make certificate generation work.
Best Regards
HI: Why do a lot of you guys didn't read the docs before doing things also forumguidelines. ( posting versions and more...) ;) https://www.virtualmin.com/node/53663
Certbot is not used by the Virtualmin own LE script sofar i know.
Then for getting support for this certbot and related problems should be harder to get here. ( i think)
CERTBOT forum??
Hello,
My apologies for the guidelines.
This is in no way about LE itself, I just said that I installed it manually because the script doesn't work. In fact, it is related to the way VirtualMin works.
I found why the script was stopping :
This can also happen if you have an access control on the domain or an HTTP(s) rule.
Best Regards
Hihi Guidelines the part about versions and wich OS? ;)
With the mail. and some others subs and LE there are a lot of problems and also some solved in this forum here don't know if your case could be... some have to change with a list alias.. Nginx dont' know sorry
If subscription then open a support sticket.?
Yes I updated my original post. :)
I don't need assistance anymore as I found the issues in my answer. I have to say that using VirtualMin is seriously awesome, even though I know how to do it manually, but the scripts provided with VM are not always working.
So if someone ever has problems with Let's Encrypt and VirtualMin/WebMin, remember one thing : - Your website has to be publicly accessible, even for a few minutes, so that the SSL can be generated - Make sure your VirtualMin Domain has the right public_html_path, even if you set the right root path in the nginx conf, it will not be enough for the LE script. - Make sure your Nginx conf is calling the ssl.combined certificate if you're having multiple domains and the conf was already generated :
ssl_certificate /home/your_website/ssl.combined;
ssl_certificate_key /home/your_website/ssl.key;
Also, for a perfect grade SSL, add the following configurations to your NGINX conf :
server_tokens off;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_session_timeout 5m;
ssl_ciphers "HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5 or HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!3DES";
Best Regards
