Hi all,

I'm having some issue's with generating SSL-certificates on user level. It keeps giving me the same old error:

Cannot Execute Your Request

Details

You can only add a certificate if you own the ip you are using

Info for Admins: Assigning an owned IP

Things I've tried so far:
- Enabled SNI in the directadmin.conf (=1), restarted the directadmin as service. Heck I've even rebooted the whole VPS.
- Checked the 'rights' for each user (SSL = enabled; for reseller and end-user); according to another forum posts I've found here.
- Tried to add the reseller to the IP in IP-Management (admin level), but it failed. Status of the ip=server. It will not let me change anything, but it should not be needed since I use SNI.

Some technical info:
  • Apache 2.4.23
  • DirectAdmin 1.50.1
  • Exim 4.87
  • MySQL 5.6.29
  • Named 9.8.2rc1
  • ProFTPd 1.3.5b
  • sshd
  • dovecot 2.2.25 (7be1766)
  • Php 5.6.24

No matter what domain or use I try to generate a SSL-certificate for, It keeps giving me the same error. Me and my friend (which has a lot of experience with servers / DA) are kinda desperate since we feel like everything is on place... what are we not seeing / missing?

Thanks in advance..
 
After enabling SNI I think you need to do ./build rewrite_confs - and also restart DirectAdmin after enabling SNI.

No success.. :( still the same message while attempting to generate an SSL certificate. I've even tried to make a new user to see if it's works with a new setup.
 
I've fixed it.... by adding a 'blank line' to the directadmin.conf file. I've seen somebody with the same issue on stackoverflow that was helped by doing this.
 
Hello,

To avoid such an issue with no empty line at the very bottom you are highly advised to use echo command instead of editing a file in a text editor:

Code: 
echo "enable_ssl_sni=1" >> /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf

and then restart directadmin.
