No vhost exists with servername or alias of

Server

Hello!

I’ve got my expiration notice today and since renew didn’t go smooth the last time (#11097), I want to solve this error once and for all: No vhost exists with servername or alias of …

So my server is running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, the apache configuration files are located in /etc/apache2/sites-available/, but only configurations under /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/ are active - so sites-enabled basically contains symlinks to files in sites-available. Following my apache2ctl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS:output:

[Sun May 08 22:46:00.948076 2016] [so:warn] [pid 19314] AH01574: module passenger_module is already loaded, skipping VirtualHost configuration: *:80 is a NameVirtualHost default server k002867vsa.ipax.at (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1) port 80 namevhost k002867vsa.ipax.at (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:1) port 80 namevhost fagschlunger.co.at (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:36) alias www.fagschlunger.co.at port 80 namevhost ipsa.at (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:50) alias www.ipsa.at port 80 namevhost krabbelmine.at (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:63) alias www.krabbelmine.at *:443 is a NameVirtualHost default server k002867vsa.ipax.at (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf:2) port 443 namevhost k002867vsa.ipax.at (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf:2) port 443 namevhost fagschlunger.co.at (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf:134) alias www.fagschlunger.co.at port 443 namevhost ipsa.at (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf:184) alias www.ipsa.at port 443 namevhost krabbelmine.at (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf:205) alias www.krabbelmine.at
Since I’m not allowed to upload attachments, find the letencrypt.log under the following link:

So does anyone know why letsencrypt doesn’t find my VHosts?

Based on your apache2ctl output, it looks like you might have multiple <VirtualHost> tags in the same .conf file. The client currently expects only one per file. There’s an issue for this problem:

For now, you could either split your .conf files so that you only have a single <VirtualHost> each, or use something other than the apache plugin (e.g. --webroot) while doing the SSL configuration manually.

Hello @pfg!

This was exactly the problem, I splitted up the VHosts in multiple files and letsencrypt just renewed my certs.
