Hi everyone

i am just starting out with vestacp and i have to say we both get along really smoth so far.
but now i am stuck with a problem.

i generated a ssl cert for a personal website of mine. the website is perfectly reachable over http, but not https.
ive restarted the server to make shure all changes are applyed.

could anyone give me a hint where to start, or what this could be?

i also have to report a small error: when adding a ssl ive get an error that the ftp username / pw should not be empty. seems like this get falsly checked.

Thanks for all your effords!
Patrick

Hi,

1. The problem could be caused by a few things:

a) Apache and Nginx don't listen the port 443. To check it run:

Code: Select all

netstat -nlp | grep :443
in shell and look if some service handles requests coming to the port 443.

b) The port 443 is blocked by the firewall on your local computer or on your server.

2. To avoid the error related with FTP just click on "(remove)" associated with an extra FTP account and uncheck the option "Additional FTP" when you add the new domain name or modify the properties of the added domain name.

Ensure you have nginx support turned on for the web domain. I thought I didn't need nginx either and had it off but no connectivity to SSL. Turning it on worked like a charm.
