Mattermost site cant be reach the IP address could not be found

Hello,
when try to active mattermost, I get this message on browser:

This site can’t be reached
chat.tst.loc** ’s server IP address could not be found.

after specify the domain name of mattermost,and checking virtualhost there is no one creating for it.
and after checking logs look like there is nothing wrong.
and when trying to adding virtualhost like mattermost domain and get like the main domain of nethserver.
Best Regards

I cannot reproduce, I used the same domain name (with an internal dns redirection on my lan)

We can see some differences from your output, on your first httpd -S we saw that you created a vhost chat.tst.loc that is not needed, even a virtualhost with the default FQDN, it will break something

what is the output

db vhosts show
db proxypass show

at first logs was created vhost too fot chat.tst.loc manually but on chit.tst.loc just based on mattermost conf

db vhosts show

default=vhost
    Description=Default virtual host
    FtpPassword=
    FtpStatus=disabled
th=vhost
    Access=private
    Description=

    Indexes=disabled
    PasswordStatus=disabled
    ServerNames=th.tst.loc
    SslCertificate=/etc/pki/tls/certs/th-tst-loc.crt
    status=enabled

db proxypass show

no outpout
Thanks

I could be wrong but the vhost th is not needed since it is the FQDN of the server :-?

at least if you want to have some web share on the server with the FQDN, use simply /var/www/html to store it

Ok,

  1. what about server alias,I had it too?
  2. what you think the cause of problem of mattermost and should be on port:80 or else ?
    I remove it,nothing change

db vhosts show

default=vhost
    Description=Default virtual host
    FtpPassword=
    FtpStatus=disabled

Thanks

we need the errors message in

/var/log/httpd/error_log
/var/log/httpd/ssl_error_log

when the message is displayed in your browser, I feel the mistake is on your configuration since I cannot reproduce it.

What is the ssl certificate ?

How is possible when there is no request to chit.tst.loc (no ip)?
It’s self-signed certificate working well.
Thanks

not so bad, this is a warning because the domain name is not part of the SSL certs…

try to reproduce your configuration with a VM, and find where you have your issue

try also to use real domain name that a dns provider can point to your server, it could help also

the certificate support all of the server sub-domains
Ok,thanks

still wondering

  1. why there is no ip reolve for the sub-domain for mattermost?
  2. when submit domain name for mattermost,look like gonna create vhost for it but there is no thing visible for it at web-interface?
  3. look like zz_mattermost.conf still aviable even after disable mattermost,are there place for site-availble or something like that?
  4. what mean of

remember to add the host name below to the "Domains" field inside the "Server certificate" page.

Thanks
