I have installed Hestia on Ubuntu 22.04. I have SSL working just fine on the hostname URL & port 8083 as well as the mail domain. Everything seemed just fine. I went to add my second website domain and then tried to get an SSL certificate and now I am getting into some troubles. I keep getting 403 from lets encrypt. The website loads.
It is bringing up 403. It is showing missing SOA when i try letsdebug… I have done several fresh installs over the course of a week and still cannot figure out why nothing but the base domain “jarrodestepp.me” can be secured with SSL. And why any addon domains i try to add does not have DNS records even tho the nameservers are setup just fine.
That is the DNS for jarrodestepp.me and yes i have setup with namecheap my registrar ns1.jarrodestepp (I know its correct because i had cyberpanel for a while and it was working without issues but i wanted to try hestia)
Incentiveways has ns1.jarrodestepp.me and ns2 on namecheap and it only has the basic hestiacp dns entires that are created when adding a domain…
The first thing you must do is to remove the two NS records pointing to your ip, those recods are wrong, a NS record MUST point to a domain and those records are saying that to resolve ns1.jarrodestepp.me and ns2.jarrodestepp.me a dns client must ask to the domains 147.182.223.112 and that’s not correct. Remove those 2 extra NS records
If you fix that you should be able to resolve the problem.
Also, it is not wrong but as you are not delegating the zone for incentiveways.com and you defined the NS for this domain as ns1.jarrodestepp.me and n2.jarrodestepp.me you must configure in Hestia those name servers for that domain instead of the current ones ns1.incentiveways.com and ns2.incentiveways.com
I resolved the problem by changing the domain jarrodestepp.me template to child-ns… after searching definition of Child NS template for HestiaCP on google it legit told me it was for the domain used as nameservers… and it worked. Wow. Months ago before Cyberpanel i tried hestia with no luck… just to find out months later it was one little thing. Ooops… THanks tho for your responses! Glad to see the community is alive here!!
