My domain is: glwdb.org I ran this command: (After problems started... see below for more info) WHM > Manage Auto SSL > Recreate my current registration with “Let’s Encrypt™”. It produced this output: Ran successfully My web server is (include version):Server Version: Apache/2.4.57 (cPanel) Ope…

Folks: Trying to follow this... I'm light in SSL. As I am Looking in CPanel SSL status, I see there's a valid certificate for glwdb.org and for www.glwdb.org . It's the one for *.glwdb.org that's failing. That aligns with your responses above. I don't know that we do need the wildcard at the point.…

Are you 100% certain that a wildcard cert has even been issued? I think it worked because the names were all covered by other cert(s) [not a wildcard cert]. Things broke and now, when you look into it, you see what you see - but your eyes [or cPanel] deceive you.

[image] BobCert: This seems odd as it was all working previously and we made no SSL related changes. You might need to get assistance from [image] BobCert: My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Bluehost

Well, I admit that I have no snapshots from before the problem. But we got no error messages. I guess that leaves us with three possibilities: The wildcard "request" was not there previously on the web server and somehow has been added The entry at Let's Encrypt itself was mysteriously deleted CPa…

[image] BobCert: I will try Bluehost again (sigh). You can vote with where you spend the money. :slight_smile:

[image] BobCert: Is it normal to have a wildcard for the domain vis-a-vis the SSL Certificate if you don't have a wildcard in your DNS entries? No. You can probably just uncheck the box or whatever's needed to tell your control panel to stop trying to issue for it. (Especially as it's not wo…

[image] BobCert: The entry at Let's Encrypt itself was mysteriously deleted It is not possible to delete a cert from the public logs. We don't see one there now. It sometimes takes up to 24H to show up in those logs but beyond that it is clear there wasn't one

@MikeMcQ OK, thanks. That means there never was one then since this account setup is a few years old. @Bruce5051 I just realized I didn't answer your question: No, I don't know what was used to the setup. I have a some other domains and a separate VPS server at the same host - all set up in the sa…

Thank you @BobCert :slight_smile:

Spent some time studying and poking around. I see some inklings that certain methods (e.g. using Cpanel) might not support creating a wildcard certificate through Let's Encrypt. Anyone know if CPanel supports wildcard certificates? Should using Let's Encrypt have an impact on that? Back at th…
