EXECUTED SCRIPT
ERROR: The file named /var/tmp/cert.7EUgVE is unreadable or doesn't exist
ERROR: Please check to make sure the certificate for avpack702.com 443:avpack702.com 443 is valid

Can you help troubleshoot this?

I had a similar issue and the problem was the file format, which is not mentioned in this repo but in these docs
https://prefetch.net/articles/checkcertificate.html
Basically, you need to have a SERVER PORT per line (notice the space after server).

[modernmagic]

Thanks. Where exactly is there a missing space?

My ssldomains file looks like this:
avpack702.com 443
modernmagic.com 443

[rodgomes]

ah, it does look correct and it works for me if I run:
ssl-cert-check -f ssldomains

Result:

This error message means there was some problem with the openssl but it wasn't caught by the error checking logic.

When I got this problem it turned out that openssl was timing out. I've fixed that one with this PR: #114

A more general fix to this problem would be to output the openssl error message in the event of an error here. Like I did in this commit:

Hello,
I am also getting the same problem, how to resolve this?

#114 has a fix.
