Error

The following error displays in DirectAdmin Admin-> RVsitebuilder Admin.

Warning: fsockopen(): SSL operation failed with code 1. OpenSSL Error messages: error:14090086:SSL routines:ssl3_get_server_certificate:certificate verify failed in /usr/local/rvglobalsoft/rvsitebuilder/modules/sitebuilder/classes/CpHandle/DaLibs/httpsocket.php on line 174 Warning: fsockopen(): Failed to enable crypto in /usr/local/rvglobalsoft/rvsitebuilder/modules/sitebuilder/classes/CpHandle/DaLibs/httpsocket.php on line 174 Warning: fsockopen(): unable to connect to ssl://sc506.whpservers.com:2222 (Unknown error) in /usr/local/rvglobalsoft/rvsitebuilder/modules/sitebuilder/classes/CpHandle/DaLibs/httpsocket.php on line 174

Reason

DirectAdmin has added a tool to offer free basic SSL Certificates since DA 1.50.0.

Solution

You can write a script to setup SSL for your host name and services by:

1. nano -w /usr/local/directadmin/conf/directadmin.conf

ssl=1
carootcert=/usr/local/directadmin/conf/carootcert.pem
ssl_redirect_host=your.hostname.com

2. Restart DirectAdmin

cd /usr/local/directadmin
./directadmin set ssl 1
./directadmin set carootcert /usr/local/directadmin/conf/carootcert.pem
./directadmin set ssl_redirect_host your.hostname.com
service directadmin restart
