Vesta Control Panel - Forum

I've got myself into a right mess this morning.
A few days ago I installed iptables-persistent for something unrelated to my website.
I had an email this morning that my SSL certificate didn't renew.
I updated VestaCP, went onto the web interface and tried re-enabling SSL support with Lets encrypt. It fails.
Now I try and go onto my website and I get ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED.
I reboot. I try restarting Vesta service, apache2, etc.
However, service iptables restart : unrecognized service, and /etc/init.d/iptables : No such file or directory
I reinstall iptables and uninstall iptables-persistent.
iptables -h works, but it is not working as a service.
I can access my website with the IP, but domain gets ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED and doesn't work in any browser.

System is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
Please help.

Try to use this command

Tried it, same problem.

Is DNS server running?

It's working now but I don't know how I fixed it...

Can someone just clarify that I don't need /etc/init.d/iptables or service iptables ____?
Many posts on this forum suggest running these scripts but I don't have them.
But my site seems to be working fine now.

If you have no iptables installed you have no protection.

Like removing the front door of your home. :-(
