Error when attempting Certbot

Help

My domain is: zamozuan.com

I was using this guide: https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/ubuntutrusty-other

I ran this command: sudo certbot certonly

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version): Some version of virtualmin/webmin - administration panel is corrupted so I must update through SSH exclusively

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): ubuntu 14.04

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: NFOServers.com

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): Yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): No - control panel is corrupted

For more information, if I try logging in to the webmin/virtualmin control panel, no modules appear properly and all pages are blank. The software is corrupted somehow. So I have had to manage exclusively through SSH. Which has not been an issue until SSL.

Does the system have a working DNS resolver?

What happens if you run “dig acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org” and “dig acme-v01.api.letsencrypt.org AAAA”?

3
4

You need to fix the DNS resolver…

Edit: Does anything else work? Say, “dig google.com”?

5

Google seems to work fine, also pings to google work. But not to lets encrypt.

I also tried settings nameservers to google (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) in resolvconf, did not seem to make any difference.

Not sure what’s going on here

6

That’s really weird. It’s a .org domain with DNS operated by Akamai. It should be one of the most reliable things in the DNS.

What happens if you do, I don’t know…

dig mozilla.net SOA
dig eff.org
dig mozilla.org
dig publicsuffix.org

And – they’ll reveal your resolver’s IP, if they work:

dig whoami.ds.akahelp.net TXT
dig whoami.lua.mattnordhoff.net TXT

I have no idea what’s going on…

There’s some sort of DNS server on 127.0.0.1, but it could be anything. BIND, DNSMasq, dnscrypt-proxy… And that doesn’t explain why some things don’t resolve…

7

mozilla: https://www.screencast.com/t/3lt72wplc2O
eff: https://www.screencast.com/t/UpfPCLblp9

whoami.lua: https://www.screencast.com/t/u0NZD41AF

As an update, in my /etc/network/interfaces file I found a DNS applied as my localhost. I removed this and left the google ,and it seems the DNS issue is resolved.

Thank you very much for assistance!

Now, I was able to run certbot. It claimed it completed successfully, but on the live site I don’t see any updates to the SSL yet.

Any advice on how to verify if it’s activated or troubleshoot if not?

9

So you can access Akamai…

You seemingly can’t access .org domains…

My domain failed too.

At least one of the successful queries was oddly slow.

And 127.0.0.1 is your own recursive DNS server, though it could also forward under some circumstances.

And it’s in Dallas, not a remote island suffering from a submarine cable cut.

:confused:

In the “dig” output, it says the time is about “Jul 02 05:30 PDT 2018”. I don’t think that can possibly be correct. Unless maybe there’s another “PDT” time zone near the international date line.

What does it show if you run “date” and “date -u”?

If your clock was genuinely that far off, the DNSSEC signatures for the .org TLD would fail to validate; if the recursive DNS server is validating DNSSEC, it wouldn’t be able to resolve any .org domain. (whoami.lua.mattnordhoff.net would also fail for similar reasons.)

Edit:

That would also be consistent with it working if you bypass the DNS server by changing resolv.conf.

On the other hand, the Date header from the web server is accurate, so the system’s time is probably fine… At least now.

When you use “certbot certonly”, it creates a certificate, but doesn’t change your web server’s configuration to use it.

You can use “certbot --apache” instead, which will configure your web server automatically, or you can change the web server’s configuration to use the new certificate by hand.

(If you configure it manually, you should also set up a Certbot hook to reload Apache when the certificate is renewed.)

Just for fun, does “dig @127.0.0.1 letsencrypt.org” work now? And what time does it show?

Results of that dig:

Okay regarding the web servers configuration, any easy way to tell? This server is using a very old Prestashop integration that I inherited, I’m not sure which server it runs on. I believe Prestashop uses nginx + apache? But I’m not 100% on this version.

All I know is the webmin/virtualmin configuration is broken so I can’t view or tweak the system through the panel, and have to do it all through SSH.

From that dig output, the clock was incorrect before and is correct now, but it still can’t resolve the domain… :confounded: Maybe the DNS server doesn’t know the new time, or has cached the “fact” that the domain is bogus, or has another issue. Anyway.

I forgot you were using a control panel. :sweat:

This is a precarious situation, and I’m not sure what to do. It’s pretty important to fix the control panel. You can change the web server configuration – it probably wouldn’t be hard, since the web server supports HTTPS, it’s just using a different certificate – but the problem is that control panels usually like to control everything, so it could get confused or revert the configuration later.

Hmm, I tried certbot apache, and was told the required plugin does not appear to be installed.

Yeah, I’m not sure how or if the install is even repairable for the panel. But until this point, configuring through SSH has seemed to run fine.

Here’s an example of what I see when logging in to webmin/virtualmin:

If I click any of the pages:

I’m assuming that right now, the panel is just being ignored. I don’t believe it’s doing any further changes to the system, and is “mostly” unmanaged right now.

This site is not really in use anymore - a new one is being designed. But I need at least the SSL updated as our images are being used on some other sites that require HTTPS security.

If I can not get SSL working, my only option would be to move all the images/etc to a new server. But I’m hoping to get this working and not to have to spend time on that last resort.
