@PitaJ said in Error: unable to verify the first certificate. How to fix?:
You may be able to fix this by changing your email server setup to provide a different certificate, one which embeds the full chain. (Probably fullchain.pem)
Since postfix was working for every other site on the server, I never thought to try that. But I did and it worked! Thank you very much.
@PitaJ I don't understand what I'm supposed to do. I have cert.pem, chain.pem, fullchain.pem and privkey.pem. The last two are included in the configuration for the VirtualHost. Should I add cert.pem and chain.pem to NodeBB? If so, then how?
I'm really sorry but I'n not well-versed in Node.js.
@PitaJ These are my settings but the error remains the same:
I will be away from my computer for many hours so I can't be specific.
I have postfix set up on port 587 with STARTTLS and it's working fine for two other websites on the same server, as well as for other things I'm testing. It's just NodeBB that has this problem.
On the email settings for NodeBB I just entered the email address for the sender and the name that should appear. Is there anything else that I should have done?
The certificate is from Let's Encryprt, it is valid until October thid year and NodeBB connects as https. Just when sending an email it doesn't confirm the certificate.
Hello all,
I have installed NodeBB v1.14.2 for testing purposes, following the official docs here and here.
The server has Ubuntu 18.04 and Apache. Now, everything seems to be working as expected. I can log in, create users and posts, add plugins etc. The only problem that I face is that NodeBB can't verify my Let's Encrypt certificate and so the emails (postfix) don't work.
The error I get is this:
2020-07-27T10:04:43.513Z [4567/18696] - [31merror[39m: Error: unable to verify the first certificate
at TLSSocket.onConnectSecure (_tls_wrap.js:1501:34)

at TLSSocket._finishInit (_tls_wrap.js:936:8)
at TLSWrap.ssl.onhandshakedone (_tls_wrap.js:710:12)
Can someone point me to the right direction for solving this? I would prefer not to use a third-party service, since that would mean I have to change postfix settings for every other website on the server.
Thank you in advance.
