I (think I) installed SSL using LetsEncrypt 72 hours ago, & still have a padlock with a red line through it, which appears in firefox, chrome, safari, & brave browsers.
EricNyc.Rocks, a wordpress website, seems to function properly. But there’s no www – not sure if that matters. & there’s no http or https.
I linked to digitalocean nameservers at namecheap.com. At digitalocean, I linked the different ways to type my domain to the droplet’s IP address. & I linked the nameservers to the IP address.
The SSL checker at SSLshopper says . .
www.ericnyc.rocks resolves to 159.89.224.251
Server Type: Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)
No SSL certificates were found on www.ericnyc.rocks. Make sure that the name resolves to the correct server and that the SSL port (default is 443) is open on your server’s firewall.
It’s that last paragraph I don’t understand. Any help much appreciated. Thanks, Eric

Hi @ericlindellnyc,
It seems like nothing is listening on your port 443. Port 443 is the one that handles https requests. I can see you are using Apache as well, so you’ll need to create a host configuration for your domain http://ericnyc.rocks/ which listens to port 443 and loads the certificates.
If you are unsure how you can achieve that, don’t worry DigitalOcean has a really good guide on this one:
In this tutorial, you will use Certbot to obtain a free SSL certificate for Apache on Ubuntu 18.04 and set up your certificate to renew automatically.
This tutorial will use a separate Apache virtual host file instead of the default configuration file
