Host not found in “None” of the “listen” directive

My domain is:

gardmikael.no

I ran this command:

sudo certbot --nginx -d gardmikael.no -d www.gardmikael.no

It produced this output:

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 - We were unable to install your certificate, however, we
   successfully restored your server to its prior configuration.
 - Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:

   Your key file has been saved at:
   /etc/letsencrypt/live/gardmikael.no/privkey.pem
   Your cert will expire on 2021-05-10. To obtain a new or tweaked
   version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot again
   with the "certonly" option. To non-interactively renew *all* of
   your certificates, run "certbot renew"

Hi @gardmikael

I don't know if this is a problem.

But you use gardmikael.

Try gardmikael.no.conf, so Certbot has a matching domain name in the config file name.

Sadly, that makes no difference :frowning_face: . But thanks for replying!

It's probably due to the contents of that configuration file. Could you share it with us?

You could see it above in the output of the nginx -T, but I'll list it here as well:

/etc/nginx/sites-available/gardmikael.no.conf

server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;

root /var/www/gardmikael/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;

server_name gardmikael.no www.gardmikael.no;

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;
}

location ~ /\.ht {
    deny all;
}

}

Do note that I have made some changes since the first post. But mainly just that switched to php8.0 and php8.0-fpm

Ah, missed the nginx -T due to the fact it was folded.

Doesn't look that weird at all.

I was thinking: you're running certbot 0.39.0, probably the most recent version available in your Ubuntu repository, correct? Although it seems I can't seem to find 0.39.0 specifically Ubuntu – Details of package certbot in bionic-updates

However, this might have been a bug which might be fixed in a more recent version of certbot. It might (or not..) be a good idea to install the most recent version of certbot with the instructions on Certbot - Ubuntubionic Nginx, which are with aid of "snap" nowadays.

Someone had the same problem.

And the answer:

After many hours of debugging and research, I found out that after using cerbot , you need to remove the line listen [::]: 80; . Still don’t know why exactly…

May be you have a [..] - ipv6 listen, but you don't have a public ipv6. May be you don't have an internal ipv6.

Google also doesn't have many results except one other person on this Community with the same problem Certbot cant Deploying Certificate

Might be a bug in the certbot nginx plugin. However, before we know that and we could file an issue @ Github, it needs to be reproducable with the most recent version of certbot.

I tried uninstalling certbot and installing it with snapd.
certbot --version still prints certbot 0.39.0

Then you're still runnng your old version probably. Or some whole different kind of version, as - like I said - I didn't find any 0.39.0 currently in the Ubuntu repositories.

What's the output of whereis certbot and ls -l /usr/bin/certbot?

Oh, yeah. Thats interesting:

whereis certbot

certbot: /usr/bin/certbot /usr/local/bin/certbot /snap/bin/certbot

I don't understand how this:
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
includes this:
configuration file /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gardmikael
And confirmed by this:

But you showed this in that folder:

How does:
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gardmikael
equal
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/gardmikael.no.conf

Maybe a hidden file?
ls -la /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

2 Likes

Weird. I'm not familiair with /usr/bin/certbot NOT being a symbolic link to anything else. (In the case of the "snap" method of installing, it should be a symbolic link to /snap/bin/certbot.

Also, I'm not that familiair with Ubuntu. Can you check to which package /usr/bin/certbot belongs? Also, /usr/local/bin/certbot is not something I recognise: perhaps it was installed with "pip" or something?

That was my idea - to rename that file.

I see how that is confusing. Before i posted the first post it was /etc/nginx/sites-available/gardmikael and when someone suggested changing the name I did. In later posts I have just copy-pasted after making changes.

You seem to have dueling certbots!

If you specifically call the one from snap, do you have this same problem?
