Issuing SSL for website Print

Nexi Panel can issue Let’s Encrypt SSL cert for websites on it. There are 2 methods to get SSL cert for website.

1. Issue SSL when creating a website

Check Additional Features SSL during creating the website.

Note: Please check and make sure the domain is pointed to Nexi Panel server, otherwise Let’s Encrypt cert will NOT be issued due to DNS verification.

2. Issue SSL on the website that is already created ( or failed on method 1 due to incorrect DNS record )

On Nexi Panel, go SSL tab, and then Manage SSL

Select the domain, and click Issue SSL.

Debugging SSL Issues

This debugging method only works if you are on the latest version. Make sure you have updated your Nexi Panel before going forward with debugging.

If for some reasons you are not able to get SSL certificates via Nexi Panel first make sure that your acme-client is the latest version, recently there were some changes on Let’s Encrypt end due to which acme-client made some changes. You can get the latest version of Acme by running this on the command line:
