Getting SSL for Domain pointing with A record to hestiacp server

Hi I have a domain at a registrar using the registrars dns, which I pointed using an A record to the hestiacp server. But when I try to get a let’s Encrypt SSL certificate I get the following error: “Error: DNS record for www.papill.online doesn’t exist”.

How can I fix this?

Hello @masdatli,

Could you please run these commands and show the output?

nslookup www.papill.online
nslookup www.papill.online 1.1.1.1

Cheers,
sahsanu

Seems you finally issued the certificate :wink:

CRT ID       CERT TYPE   DOMAIN (CN)    KEY ALG      VALID FROM             VALID TO               EXPIRES IN  SANs

                                                                                                               www.papill.online 

And you are using it in your site:

$ : | openssl s_client -connect www.papill.online:443 -servername www.papill.online 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -issuer -ext subjectAltName -dates
issuer=C = US, O = Let's Encrypt, CN = R3
X509v3 Subject Alternative Name: 
    DNS:papill.online, DNS:www.papill.online
notBefore=Sep  8 18:48:41 2023 GMT
notAfter=Dec  7 18:48:40 2023 GMT

Let us know what was the issue and how you solved it so other users could learn in case they have the same issue.

Hi, yes thank you so much for your response. I managed to get a letsencrypt certificate after I set the nameservers correct in the dns. At least that is what I think fixed it.
