VestaCP Error code 2

I tried to use Lets Encrypt Support under SSL Support section when I added a new domain name on web panel. I got this error message:

Error code: 2

which means:

E_INVALID Object or argument is not valid

Apache2 web server and nginx caching server are both active on server and running. Domains are pointed to server with A record, these are working through HTTP.

OS: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS (GNU/Linux 2.6.32-042stab125.5 x86_64)

VestaCP version: 0.9.8-18

Solution

  • Same for me. I removed the FTP account, tried again, and then got the less cryptic error:

    Error: DNS problem: NXDOMAIN looking up A for ...

    So: Check your DNS records. Likely, a record is missing.

    In my case though, one of the aliases specified in Vesta was no longer available as that domain had expired. I removed that alias and all was good again.
