Another attempt at LE wildcards

Help! (Home for newbies)

Webmin version: 1.940
Virtualmin version 6.08
CentOS Linux 7.7.1908
Apache webserver

Not having had any success at Let’s Encrypt wildcard generation, I had hoped things might be different with Webmin v1.940

  • Recently upgraded to Webmin v1.940
  • Installed certbot with
yum install certbot
  • Enabled Apache SSL website
  • Using ‘Virtualmin > Server Configuration > SSL Certificate > Let’s Encrypt’ I successfully created a LE cert for
my-domain.com
www.my-domain.com  
autoconfig.my-domain.com
autodiscover.my-domain.com
  • then, attempting to create a wildcard LE cert for
*.my-domain.com

fails with this message:

Failed to request certificate : Output did not contain a PEM path!

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

edit: added path to Lets Encrypt module

Yes.

This part:

*.my-domain.com

Replace this with:

my-domain.com
*.my-domain.com

I expected this issue to happen, and we already added it on dev version, and next Virtualmin release will have a simple checkbox to let user to query wildcard certs.

I had tried

*.my-domain.com
my-domain.com

So close! Switched them around as per your instruction and it appears to have worked. I’ll create an alias/sub-domain to check all’s well.

Thank you so much.
