Re: [webmin-l] Certificate Problem

I am using a third party DNS server but the domain for the site does 
have a DNS entry pointing to the server and the website loads just fine 
with the https; just using the self signed certificate because Let's 
Encrypt doesn't work through Virtualmin; haven't try doing if from the 
command line yet.

The full message I get is: request failed : Domain has no website, and 
DNS based validation is not possible.
