Hello,
I am trying to add SSL to my www domain, but its only currently for the non www domain. Is there any way to add it in the command line? Because I get this error " Error: Let’s Encrypt validation status 400. Details: Unable to update challenge :: authorization must be pending" when trying to add it via the panel.
My website is also not showing up under www, only non www??
Hi DBn,
As you already have a certificate for the non-www alias, lets encrypt will fail.
just add your www alias to the aliases section of your non-www domain. Take a look at this example.
My domain is “www.domain.com”
Alias is “domain.com”
I deleted the certificates and now none of my domains have SSL or can obtain a certificate because of “Error: Let’s Encrypt validation status 400. Details: Unable to update challenge :: authorization must be pending”
I remove and added alias back, I get error " Error: web domain domain.com doesn’t exist". I checked the DNS tab and domain.com is there (shouldnt it be with www?). But I control my domains records from the domain registrar, not sure if DNS on Hestia is required?
The same thing happened to me, what I did is stop that domain and start it again from the hestiacp control panel -> WEB — and in the domain that gives you the error, there is a STOP and a start, from there you can stop this domain that gives you problems (It is in the same site that you can disable the web domain)
I couldnt find that option to stop/start a domain. Only apache2 in admin panel and restarting the whole server. Nothing worked 
my website isnt even showing. I cant even delete the webdomain to restore from backup!
EDIT - Please advise, I dont want to reinstall Hestiacp
Chech the status of your services like nginx and/or apache2.
There is a problem with nginx it seems, apache2 is fine. However, when I go to the folder to remove the pem file so nginx can start, its not there. Basically telling me that my domain doesnt exist.

When you get no answer to your latest post, it either means that noone has anything more to add to the conversation, or noone currently has the time to answer it. We all have our day-jobs and other obligations, so there are days when we have no free time to read the forum. Also try to remember that this forum accommodates people from different time zones.
Now let’s get back to the problem. As you saw, nginx could not start because it cannot load the certificate.
Go to the web domain, uncheck the boxes about certificates and save the domain. Then check again if nginx is having any issues.
I don’t think this is an excerpt from the nginx log file. My suggestion was to check nginx log file for errors, not try to get a certificate yet. Any way, since I don’t have info about errors in nginx log, I will suggest something else.
These are the only erros from the nginx log, its the same error as above that I posted about the .pem file.

Numbers 1 - 3, as mentioned, I cannot delete, rename in cli or do anything to the domain, I keep getting " Error: web domain my-domain.com doesn’t exist"
What is the output of the following commands when you enter them via SSH logged in as root?
www.domain.com
domain.com
www.domain.com
domain.com
1 - 3, Error: web domain domain.com doesn't exist or Error: dns domain domain.com doesn't exist I tried both www and non www.
Number 4 looks like it worked. Then I tried numbers 1 - 3 again and it was the same output.
EDIT: I also used v-list-web-domain however I got domain doesn’t exist for non www.
v-list-web-domain dbn www.domain.com
DOMAIN: www.domain.com

By accident using an idn / punny code domain?

No, its a one word domain, no hyphens or anything.
I reinstalled Hestiacp and found that when adding the www. portion of my domain under web it didn’t add the “www.” to the domain or the folder in the user’s directory. Not sure if this is a bug, but it did create the www. domain last time as well as with www. in the directory name.
One more thing, as a test, I removed the domain that failed to use “www.” and tried to re-add it, it gave me the same error as before “web domain.com doesn’t exist”.
I tried this with non www, adding and removing, no issues. I thought you should about this, maybe its a bug.
for domain.tld it will add ww.domain.tld as alias, for www.domain.tld it will handle it as subdomain and does not add the www alias (which would be www.www.domain.tld) - all good here.
I’m not talking about the alias. This part here in the image. I added www.domain.com and it didn’t save it as that, only as domain.com, unless last time when I was able to save it as www.domain.com was the glitch? What about the web domain doesn’t exist?
