Were you able to solve it @RizkiR? I’m having similar issue right now.

I solve the problem by changing a line in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file as follows:

Virtual Host Configs

include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/.; // files

It should be:

include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*; //directories


I traced this error to Let’s Encrypt on Ubuntu 18.04. Let’s Encrypt on Ubuntu 16 updates the line correctly, but 18.04 did not. The addition (.*) causes all sort of connection issues.

I hope it helps, although it is belated.
