Automatically create alias domain with nginx not working

Submitted by kindnation on Wed, 05/28/2014 - 06:29

Under Server Templates > Virtual Server Creation > Automatically create alias domain, I tried creating a virtual server, but it's not creating the alias domain. Any chance of supporting Nginx?

Closed (fixed)

That should just work - does it shown any error, or does the alias domain just not get created? Or does it get created, but without Nginx enabled?

Hi Jamie,

The alias domain does not get created and there's also no virtual hosts created under Nginx. Below is the example output during creation:

You can see the "Post-creation command failed : sed: can't read /etc/nginx/sites-available/wptraveler.com.chumsai.net: No such file or directory" failed because the alias server never gets created.

Do you want root access to take a look?

Ok, I see the bug now - this will be fixed in the next Virtualmin release.

So sorry, I just move on Nginx from Apache. I encountered several troubles for Drupal sites, but the main issue is the creation alias domain that gives "404 Not Found nginx/1.14.2" So this is not exactly the issue reported in the thread because the alias domain is created but it doesn't show up. Also when running sudo certbot --nginx There is :Detail: Invalid response from http://ALIAS-DOMAIN/.well-known/acme-challenge/" Is there an issue ? Thanks ;-)
