www error (server pilot)

[jesvinjoachim]

root@linux:~# rwssl -n matrimonyhrm
Obtaining SSL certificate for the app matrimonyhrm.
DNS check failed. Please ensure that the domain(s) hm.dewsprout.com www.hm.dewsprout.com are resolving to your server.

www.hm.dewsprout.com this gives a problem - because it dosent resolve - can add a ignore subdomain www. to be optional ?

Hi @jesvinjoachim, domains are parsed from your vhost file. Simply remove the www domain from domains tab of your app (in serverpilot control panel) and then retry rwssl. Everything should work smoothly. Regarding the ignore flag, I didn't feel it to be there but I'll consider adding that feature in next update.

since you have developed rwssl -all , i thought it will be easier to just add this www exception too, because its automatically made added just like thath. by the way this all work is awesome , its really good . also i was wondering how much expensive it will be to make a clone of serverpilot , you already have lamppack etc . can we do that ?

There is another bug related to this, which is if your www. is listed first in server pilot (and therefor in the vhost) then the script won't run. I was able to fix it by deleting the WWW record in server pilot and reading it, but it should still be able to handle it regardless of the order.

@jesvinjoachim adding that exception is easy but the script expects a valid vhost file that just contains correct domains. So the best option should be to have only valid domains for your apps in your serverpilot control panel. Regarding a serverpilot clone, I can't say anything about the required budget without doing a complete analysis. If you are serious in a product like this, then we can talk further via email or skype.

@JamiesonRoberts Thanks for finding out the bug. Yep that's correct as Let's Encrypt stores certs in a directory for the domain that doesn't contain www but rwssl simply assumes the first domain name as the directory name. I'll fix this issue in next update.

Issues regarding www version and invalid domains should be addressed by the new version (1.0.5). Regarding a www domain in sub-domain app, rwssl may still through a DNS validation error. Ideally, an app should NOT contain any invalid domains. rwssl now only validates a domain name, not it's DNS. So please check domains section for your app in ServerPilot control panel and remove any domains that don't belong to your app.

what you think of developing serverpilot alternative ?
