Hi i've changed the hostname of the server as the client needs to switch from domain.
Followed guide: https://docs.directadmin.com/directadmin/general-usage/configuring-da.html#how-to-change-a-hostname
Everything is working fine except the LE SSL for the hostname.

I do this

cd /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/
./letsencrypt.sh request_single `hostname -f` 4096
Setting up certificate for a hostname: srv1.domainnew.nl

DirectAdmin certificate has been setup.

Failed to reload dovecot.service: Unit dovecot.service not found.

This one gives the same:
./letsencrypt.sh request srv1.domainnew.nl 4096

As you see I request for the new hostname, but got an LE SSL for the old hostname.
Anyone some hints where to debug this one?

The old domain also points to the server, but don't see why I got an SSL for a different hostname

That's an older command, might not remove all old certificated for the old hostname.

Check my howto, and verify all steps, there is also info on how to remove existing old stuff if still present, that should fix it for you.

Thread '[How-To] Create or change your server's hostname in Directadmin'

This is a guide on how to create a correct FQDN hostname on a sever or VPS.
I created this newly here in this section, for easier reference and it's also easier to find.

There is also another method, but the method described here is another method which is also still very usable.

Before you install Directadmin you can already take care the correct hostname is used bij Directadmin.

The domain mydomain.com is used her as example and 192.168.0.1 as example server ip. Ofcourse replace all examples with the domain or hostname your are using. So don't use 192.168.0.1 in the real situation...

Managing server host name certificate no longer needs CLI access at all. On the admin level just visit the Sever Manager -> Server TLS Certificate page. You can renew and check the host name certificate there. It also has a sub-page for all LE related settings. With UI it is easier to create host name certificates for multiple hosts. This can be useful when migrating between host names.

The CLI command should work as well. Please make sure DA is aware of you new server host name.
 
That page is only for the certificate management, not for changing server host name.
