Unable to install the certificate

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: tuipster.com

I ran this command: sudo certbot --nginx -d tuipster.com -d www.tuipster.com

It produced this output:

  • Unable to install the certificate
  • Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:
    /etc/letsencrypt/live/tuipster.com/fullchain.pem
    Your key file has been saved at:
    /etc/letsencrypt/live/tuipster.com/privkey.pem
    Your cert will expire on 2020-07-20. 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): Puma (Ruby on Rails) using Nginx 1.14.0

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu 18.04

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Digital Ocean

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): 0.31.0

Hi @tuipster

I have no idea how that combination works.

But do you have a standard port 80 vHost?

What says

    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
}

}

Thats

may be the problem.

There is no server block with the two server names tuipster.com + www.tuipster.com.

So Certbot doesn't have a template to create the port 443 vHost.

Create such a new server block, restart your nginx, then try to reinstall the certificate:

certbot --reinstall -d tuipster.com -d www.tuipster.com

Thank you

Maybe that is the problem, but /home/rails/example/public is not the app. The app is in /home/rails/tuipster.

I followed this steps https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-14-04

It says you can update the default config file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/default

This is the content:

You should look at the following URL’s in order to grasp a solid understanding

of Nginx configuration files in order to fully unleash the power of Nginx.

https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/

https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/tutorials/config_pitfalls/

https://wiki.debian.org/Nginx/DirectoryStructure

In most cases, administrators will remove this file from sites-enabled/ and

leave it as reference inside of sites-available where it will continue to be

updated by the nginx packaging team.

This file will automatically load configuration files provided by other

applications, such as Drupal or Wordpress. These applications will be made

available underneath a path with that package name, such as /drupal8.

Please see /usr/share/doc/nginx-doc/examples/ for more detailed examples.

Default server configuration

# Note: You should disable gzip for SSL traffic.
# See: https://bugs.debian.org/773332
#
# Read up on ssl_ciphers to ensure a secure configuration.

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

# pass PHP scripts to FastCGI server
#
#location ~ \.php$ {
#	include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
#
#	# With php-fpm (or other unix sockets):
#	fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
#	# With php-cgi (or other tcp sockets):
#	fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
#}

# deny access to .htaccess files, if Apache's document root
# concurs with nginx's one
#
#location ~ /\.ht {
#	deny all;
#}

}

Virtual Host configuration for example.com

You can move that to a different file under sites-available/ and symlink that

to sites-enabled/ to enable it.

#server {

listen 80;

listen [::]:80;

server_name example.com;

root /var/www/example.com;

index index.html;

location / {

try_files $uri $uri/ =404;

}

#}

I've made these changes and I have successfully enabled SSL but now when I access to the web Mozilla says that there are some parts not secure.

What can I do? Thanks

The site has mixed content – you have to make sure that other resources – images, JavaScript, CSS, etc. – are also all loaded over HTTPS, and not HTTP.

Your browser’s developer tools, or services like Why No Padlock? can help find them. Or, in a simple situation, you can just grep your HTML.

What about this message?

You currently have TLSv1 enabled.
This version of TLS is being phased out. This warning won’t break your padlock, however if you run an eCommerce site, PCI requirements state that TLSv1 must be disabled by June 30, 2018.

How can I change TLS version?
