Can't renew hostname SSL: The domainNames argument is invalid

Symptoms

You encounter messages similar to the following when running the checkallsslcerts script.

The cPanel Store returned an error (X::Item::ActivationFailure) in response to the request “POST ssl/certificate/whm-license/90-day”: The domainNames argument is invalid

[WARN] The system failed to acquire a signed certificate from the cPanel Store because of the following error: (XID zhu2h7) The cPanel Store returned an error (X::Item::ActivationFailure) in response to the request “POST ssl/certificate/whm-license/90-day”: The domainNames argument is invalid

Cannot issue for "$server.hostname.tld": Domain name does not end with a valid public suffix (TLD)

Description

The error is caused by old host names in the "/var/cpanel/hostname_history.json" file. Moving the file aside will allow the hostname certificate to be issued.

Workaround

1. Access the server's command line as the 'root' user via SSH or "Terminal" in WHM.
2. Move the "hostname_history.json" file aside.

   mv -v /var/cpanel/hostname_history.json{,.$(date +%s)}

3. Run the "checkallsslcerts" script.

   /usr/local/cpanel/bin/checkallsslcerts
