Nginx certificate installation failed

[aaa]

My domain is:

Hydra Client - Home

I ran this command:
sudo certbot --nginx

It produced this output:

Saving debug log to /var/log/letsencrypt/letsencrypt.log

Cert not yet due for renewal

You have an existing certificate that has exactly the same domains or certificate name you requested and isn't close to expiry.

Keeping the existing certificate
Could not automatically find a matching server block for hydraclient.com. Set the `server_name` directive to use the Nginx installer.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
 - Unable to install the certificate
 - Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:
   /etc/letsencrypt/live/hydraclient.com/fullchain.pem
   Your key file has been saved at:
   /etc/letsencrypt/live/hydraclient.com/privkey.pem
   Your cert will expire on 2021-01-15. 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"

My web server is (include version):
nginx version: nginx/1.18.0 (Ubuntu)

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Release: 20.04

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
Google cloud

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 0.40.0

My nginx config is:

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name www.hydraclient.com hydraclient.com;

        root /var/www/html;

        # Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
        index index.html;

        location / {
                # First attempt to serve request as file, then
                # as directory, then fall back to displaying a 404.
                try_files $uri =404;
        }

error_log /var/log/nginx/hydraclient.com/error.log;
}

server {
        listen 80;
        server_name auth.hydraclient.com;

        location / {

        }

Hi @aaa

@aaa

My nginx config is:

that's only a part of your configuration, but if Certbot can't install the certificate, there is something wrong.

What says

nginx -T

[aaa]

nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

[JuergenAuer]

@aaa

nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok

Please read my reply. That's not the required check.

Here is the full output

Now you see the problem.

Your config shared in your question isn't used.

Why?

[Osiris]

Sites-available isn't included by nginx.conf, you'd want to symbolic link the relevant configuration from sites-available to sites-enabled (which is included).

[rg305]

OR
You need to add something like this to your main config:
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf;
[or to whichever path you want to keep your active configs]

[&2* readers: Get involved; Be heard. It starts with: if you read something you like, then like it ]

[schoen]

@rg305

include /etc/nginx/site-enabled/*.conf;

Note "sites" rather than "site" here!

[Osiris]

@rg305

You need to add something like this to your main config:
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*.conf;

That would be a slight modification to the current main config, as sites-enabled is already included Only without the .conf part. It's just that all configs are currently just in sites-available and not in sites-enabled.

[rg305]

@Osiris

It's just that all configs are currently just in sites-available and not in sites-enabled.

And thus the added line:

@rg305

[or to whichever path you want to keep your active configs]

The writing needs to stand the test of time (and also be helpful to future readers).
