Hostname ssl certificate not loading
Hello
Recently cpanel is not giving certificate for hostname why is that? Our hostname is valid and the ip address is resolving, there is no firewall blocking, but the certificate is not issued. It commad output like this.

Hello guys, I'm having the same exact issue reported by thread author, but in my case, it was a bit trickier cause I use CSF firewall and somehow it blocked cPanel IPs. SO PLEASE ADD TO THE LINKED ARTICLE the requirement to allow those IPs in the firewall as stated in The checkallsslcerts Script | cPanel & WHM Documentation 178.255.81.12 178.255.81.13 91.199.212.132 199.66.201.132 Otherwise, the certificates won't be created. 0 -
@Kent Brockman - I'm not sure I completely understand your reply, as those IPs are part of the cPanel network. Can you get more details on where those IPs came from? 0 -
Ah, the Sectigo IPs. That makes sense. Which article did you think the firewall requirement should get added to? 0 -
I'm not sure that's a good place for that, actually. When @vacancy started this thread, he specifically mentioned his problem wasn't due to a firewall issue, and the fix in that article is a change about the validation requirements for the domain itself that was fixed 4 versions ago. If you were using a cPanel version higher than 100, your issue would have been the firewall problem itself, and not anything specific to that article. 0 -
Ok, you may be right. Anyway, it is a good sidenote at least for this thread to evaluate if the IPs were allowed in the firewall or not. In my case it helped. Thanks, bye! 0
