website down. http 500

[bowsercloud]

I can't access a domain on my vestacp install. I get a http 500 error. All the services are running. Rebooted server. Still won't load. Site is pingable and vesta interface is accessible. It has a letsencrypt certificate for https, set up with the vesta cli.

I've narrowed it down to a problem with the https. If I disable the .htaccess https rewrite and go to the http site, it works fine. The https site doesn't work.

what do you have in your .htaccess, please paste here

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Just the usual wordpress and the https redirect

Did you migrate your WP site recently from another server?
or
Enabled HTTPs recently ?

If so, you need to delete permalinks and let WP create them again :

1. Delete your .htaccess

2. In your WP-Admin ->> Settings ->> Permalinks and set it to DEFAULT ->> Apply

Check and if the URL's work now, set the URLs back to PostName

No. The site was working fine. Only thing that happened was the cron job to update the lets encrypt certificate ran. It had a chmod 755 error.
