how to enable HTTPS after installing SSL certificate

minihoneybee · Post by **minihoneybee** » Tue Mar 07, 2017 11:32 am

I have installed an ssl certificate from letsencrypt using this tool:
https://github.com/interbrite/letsencrypt-vesta

but that doesn't matter because my certificate is installed just fine,
I can see it in the control panel for my virtual host.

I have allowed both http(80) and https(443) on my firewall(even tried disabling it),
but I cannot acces my website using https://mywebsitename.com.
It does work for http://mywebsitename.com.

How do I enable HTTPS when I have an ssl certificate installed?
Thanks for helping me out, I'm new to all of this :p

Update VestaCP and use internal GUI for SSL with LE

You have to check that Let's Encrypt Support label just below SSL support and click save.

I'm sorry, that doesn't really work. It's one of the reasons I tried the other tool.
