QuestionWebsites on server do not display SSL and redirect to webmail page: vhost configuration files for the websites are missing
Symptoms
- Opening the domain of the website in your browser results in a NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID or MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT error
- Continuing past the missing SSL warning message leads you to the webmail login interface page for Roundcube or Horde.
- Running plesk repair web -n returns the following error output:
#root @ server in ~: plesk repair web -n
...
Checking web server configuration. Please wait
File not found: example.com.conf
File not found: example.net.conf
File not found: example.org.conf ........................... [ERROR]
- The vhost.conf, vhost_nginx.conf and vhost_ssl.conf files are missing from the /var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/conf directory of the affected websites
Cause
Missing Virtual Host configuration files in the /var/www/vhosts/system/example.com/conf directory for each affected website combined with additional server-wide web server misconfiguration.
Resolution
To resolve the issue, you should follow these steps:
1. Log into your server via SSH as the root user
2. Recreate all necessary virtual host and web server configuration files by running this command:
#plesk repair web
3. Review the output and confirm by inputting y (for yes) when necessary
The command above recreates all of the necessary web server configuration files for all domains and web services.
