Asked by vinitjain75
Caddy Service is working fine when the Caddyfile is empty
The moment we update the Caddyfile with my domain and email address, caddy.service sudo systemctl restart caddy fails
We have tried reset-failed and start combination and everything
/etc/caddy/Caddyfile
portexcel.com { root /home/admin/web/portexcel.com/public_html gzip tls nc@tharlines.com }
https://portexcel.com is not working
The moment we empty the Caddyfile, the caddy.service is Active, Enabled and working fine
This is where our files are and we have given access to caddy appropriately /home/admin/web/portexcel.com/public_html
We have followed the steps from here https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-host-a-website-with-caddy-on-centos-7
Only change is our root dir is different then what is given in the instructions

@jtittle
sounds complicated to me
Anyway you can help set this up for us or we can be your client in someway :-)
@jtittle Yes Vesta CP uses NGINX and this is why I think caddy says port 80 already in use
can I uninstall vesta cp and nginx or will I have to start afresh?
I am planning multi server with a Load balancer (LB) model - Just wanted to first make it work on a single server and then wanted to replicate with one LB, one DB Server and atleast 2 Clients Server
Thereafter increase Client Servers with volume
@jtittle
Based on your input, I have tried using this - but it did not work on 2 different droplets and domains ; ProtectHome=true
I have setup my website using Vesta Control Panel and this is why my website are under /home/admin/web/sitename.com/public_html
After following all the steps, now my Vesta CP login page is also not opening https://139.59.58.199:8083/login/
Please help for both issues
