SSL not working

Hi, I followed the steps on how to install an SSL certificate on VestaCP. After some attempts, I managed to install it getting the message that works properly. Unfortunately I keep getting error 500 when I try to ρεαψη the desired domain with https. I checked if the port 443 is closed and yes, it seems to be closed. I used some rules on iptable, but it is still closed. I even checked if on my server provider, there is any rules disallowing any IP reaching port 443, but there aren't. I don't know what else I can do...

I guess you have configured the SSL correctly.

https and 500 error are two different things. You should not get error like 500 if there any issue with https

Check logs when you get 500 error and let us know what you are seeing there.

If you're getting a 500 when you enable SSL, there's usually something wrong with the webserver config.

It could be that nginx/apache can't find a file. Check that the newly created SSL cert files exist as specified in the config, and that the permissions are correct.

May be a permissions issue with the ssl files and/or the config file, please confirm they can be read by the same user that runs your webserver.

Error 500 is when Apache is not running.
