Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.
My domain is:
?? see edit at bottom
I ran this command:
sudo certbot certonly --nginx
It produced this output:
Error while running nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t.
nginx: [emerg] no "ssl_certificate" is defined for the "listen ... ssl" directive in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:24
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
The nginx plugin is not working; there may be problems with your existing configuration.
The error was: MisconfigurationError('Error while running nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t.\n\nnginx: [emerg] no "ssl_certificate" is defined for the "listen ... ssl" directive in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:24\nnginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed\n')
My web server is (include version):
nginx/1.18.0
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Debian 10
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
Linode
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
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):
certbot 1.22.0
Hi all, im following the instructions at An ASP.NET Core on Linux Tutorial | Linode to set up nginx server on Debian, I get the error above when running sudo certbot certonly --nginx.
After googling it seems error is that the config doesnt contain the location of the cert files (i thought this command should be creating the cert files), so i tried adding the location they should be added to and re ran but same error.
I then saw instructions on Certbot Instructions | Certbot gives option to use this command:
sudo certbot --nginx
but when the path is in nginx.conf i get this error:
Error while running nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t.
nginx: [emerg] cannot load certificate "/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem": BIO_new_file() failed (SSL: error:02001002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:fopen('/etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem','r') error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file)
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
When its not there i get this error:
Error while running nginx -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf -t.
nginx: [emerg] no "ssl_certificate" is defined for the "listen ... ssl" directive in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:24
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed
Any help much appreciated
EDIT: I didnt add my domain name as im not sure what it should be, should it be what is in the nginx.conf? I just have example.com there atm , im not too savy on this kind of thing and not sure what to put there as i dont have a domain yet, is this just a domain local to the server so can be what it wants? I dont have a public domain name yet.
