I was trying to setup some of the new CSF MESSENGER_HTTPS features but LFD can't find the SSL certificates on a Plesk server for some reason. Any ideas?

Feb 28 09:57:33 web6 lfd[27641]: MESSENGER: Error starting HTTPS service: No SSL certs found in MESSENGER_HTTPS_CONF location
Feb 28 09:57:33 web6 lfd[27641]: MESSENGER: HTTPS service temporarily *DISABLED*

I tried setting MESSENGER_HTTPS_CONF to "/etc/httpd/conf/plesk.conf.d/vhosts/*.conf" (Plesk symlinks to every vhosts httpd.conf in this directory) . I also tried setting it to "/var/www/vhosts/system/*/conf/httpd.conf" (the actual locations) with no luck.

I'm including a sample vhost domain http.conf in case the syntax is a bit different with Plesk

The VirtuaHost directives do not match the regexes used in lfd. We will look into adapting them in a future release.

Sounds good. Thanks for adding the recaptcha stuff too! Looking forward to all of this to reduce support calls

Also note that the original file has extra spacing in there but for some reason when I include it on code tags all the line breaks get stripped. If you want the original file just let me know and I can email it to you.

It looks like Plesk has an extra space in their virtualhost line that causes the Messenger.pm regex to not match. To fix its just a matter of changing the regex on line 87 of messenger.pm

From To: It fixes the error of not finding the certificates but it still errors with:
My settings I'm thinking that the issue is that Plesk stores its certificates in PEM format so each SSLCertificateFile already includes the private key for each cert?

With debug on its finding the certificates alright. I'm not sure why its still erroring:

I'm working on a generic regex to include plesk. Part of the problem is that it appears plesk uses incorrect syntax, such as putting values within quotes and angle brackets. Such formatting does not appear in the Apache spec, but we' taking that into account. See:
