Hi,
i have a problem with cerbot does not work with the following two Apache2 headers set in apache2.conf or any other file which apache loads:
Header set Report-To: {“group”:“default”,“max_age”:10886400,“endpoints”:[{“url”:“https://name.uriports.com/reports"}],"include_subdomains”:true}
Header set NEL: {“report_to”:“default”,“max_age”:2592000,“include_subdomains”:true,“failure_fraction”:1.0}
Both lines trigger the syntax error from certbot while parsing the apache config. apachectl configtest does not list this error and also apache ist working and restarting/reloading very well with this config. Also both headers are working as expected for multiple browsers and versions.
Could you help how certbot does work with these headers as I want to continue to use them in my setup? Is there any way certbot accept them or how can I change the syntax so certbot is accepting it but also apache does use these headers?
Thank you and best regards
Matthias
My domain is:
domain.tld --> replaced as this is a general syntax error which occurs on multiple hosts and is not related to the domain
I ran this command:
certbot renew --dry-run
It produced this output:
root@host:/home/host/# certbot renew --dry-run
Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log
Processing /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/domain.tld.conf
Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing…
Could not choose appropriate plugin: The apache plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: PluginError(‘There has been an error in parsing the file /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf on line 48: Syntax error’,)
Attempting to renew cert (domain.tld) from /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/domain.tld.conf produced an unexpected error: The apache plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: PluginError(‘There has been an error in parsing the file /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf on line 48: Syntax error’,). Skipping.
