Renew Failed NGINX

[septian]

Hello, I’m having some issues renewing of my domains. i seeing error:
nginx: [emerg] Unknown curve name “secp384r1:prime256v1” (SSL:)

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. https://crt.sh/?q=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: spotqoe-api.ofisqoe.com

I ran this command: certbot renew

It produced this output:
Processing /etc/letsencrypt/renewal/spotqoe-api.ofisqoe.com.conf

Cert is due for renewal, auto-renewing…

@septian

My web server is (include version): nginx/1.10.3

Nginx's ssl_ecdh_curve option only supports multiple curves with Nginx 1.11.0 or newer.

You need to find where it's set in Nginx's configuration and comment it out or remove it.

(The default would be just prime256v1, which is fine.)

@septian

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you’re using Certbot): certbot 0.21.1

The Certbot PPA has version 0.28.0. If you're using it, you can run sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade or sudo apt full-upgrade to update Certbot.

You can run this to display your parsed nginx configuration, and from there you can locate where the secp384r1:prime256v1 is coming from:

nginx -T

That’s quite strange if it doesn’t come with anything else.

How about this:

grep -R secp384r1 /etc/nginx /etc/letsencrypt

[rg305]

How about looking for anything (even close to this):
grep -Eri 'ecdh|secp|prime' /etc/nginx

How about this:

grep -R secp384r1 /etc/nginx /etc/letsencrypt

result : /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf:ssl_ecdh_curve secp384r1:prime256v1;

Cool, commenting out that one should fix it for you!

Of course, actually upgrading Certbot and nginx is preferable! You really must upgrade Certbot from the Ubuntu PPA, because yours is using TLS-SNI, which is being disabled imminently.

The it is in an included file.
[which should have been shown in the nginx -T output]

Thank you, it's work
