I did something - probably - rather stupid: I have a user with 4 domains and one of the domains had a Lets Encrypt certificate installed and it worked fine.
Then I wanted to get such a certificate for another domain of that user.
To check that SSL was configured for that domain I went to All Users - selected the user - and selected modify user. There I found that SSL was enabled. I don't know what daemon was riding me, but I unchecked SSL support - saved - then checked SSL support again - and saved....
And now my virtual host for port 443 is gone and I can't get it back.
How can I get this back - without editing custom httpd settings - and probably introducing more errors :-(

Thanks - Merlin
 
just in case somebody else runs into the same problem:
To re-enable ssl support you do the following:
- log in as the user
- select the domain you want to add SSL support to
- down there in advanced select the add SSL certificate
- look at the top of the screen if SSL support is enabled
- if not, enable it right there - this will add the virtual host for port 443
- then you can add the Let's Encrypt cert
 
It took me two hours to figure out this after sorting out the Letsencrypt error(s) provided by DA and custombuild.

Needless to say this morning was the last nail in the coffin for this control panel. Nine years of use and soon it will be bye bye forever.
 
We might be happy that you will stop using it.... DirectAdmin is used by thousands of customers and millions of end users without any issues. Stop being so negative all the time on this forum.
