No certificate available for Domain

1. Caddy version (caddy version):

V2.0.0

2. How I run Caddy:

Caddyfile

a. System environment:

Ubuntu 18.04.4.

b. Command:

caddy run

c. Service/unit/compose file:

paste full file contents here

d. My complete Caddyfile or JSON config:

#The Caddyfile is an easy way to configure your Caddy web server.
#
# Unless the file starts with a global options block, the first
# uncommented line is always the address of your site.
#
# To use your own domain name (with automatic HTTPS), first make
# sure your domain's A/AAAA DNS records are properly pointed to
# this machine's public IP, then replace the line below with your
# domain name
www.financialnow.org,
www.itexplanation.com,
www.secured-health.com{
  reverse_proxy localhost:8080
}

# Set this path to your site's directory.
#root * /usr/share/caddy

# Enable the static file server.
#file_server

# Another common task is to set up a reverse proxy:

# Or serve a PHP site through php-fpm:
# php_fastcgi localhost:9000

# Refer to the Caddy docs for more information:
# https://caddyserver.com/docs/cad

3. The problem I’m having:

Caddy is not able to retrieve a certificate for my domains. I have searched through a lot of posts this week and can not find anything to help me.

5. What I already tried:

The A records for each domain are pointing to Caddy. I can watch Caddy search for a certificate each time I try to reach the domain using a browser.

6. Links to relevant resources:

Simple enough, fortunately. :slight_smile: You told Caddy to serve www.financialnow.org, not financialnow.org. You can either change that in your config file or serve both. Should solve the problem!

(Same with the other domains)

Also, you have a syntax error in your config. You must have a space between your domain and the {. If you look at your logs, you’ll notice that domain isn’t listed.

Thank you Matt, that worked. I made the change, reloaded the Caddyfile and it worked immediately. I had changed the Caddyfile about 30 different ways, and I thought I had tried the domain without the WWW, but I don’t care. It works now. Thank you!! I posted my end results below for the next guy looking for the same answer.

financialnow.org,
itexplanation.com,
secured-health.com {
  reverse_proxy localhost:8080
}

Thank you, francislavoie. I placed a space in front of {as you suggested. Thank you!!
