I fail to access my server with the DNS pointed to it.

Posted on August 17, 2018

Just today I got an Ubuntu 16.04 server. Followed all the instructions in the welcoming email: setting up the server, installing nginx, configuring ssh and making the dns point the server.

I can view the webpage from it’s IP but not from the domain.

I have my DNS from GoDaddy and it was already pointed to a custom Nameserver(as I was using another hosting service and had a SSL cert installed). Changed to the digital ocean’s nameservers and waited for 8-9 hours. Cleared the cache and everything. When I try to access the server trough the domain I get the error “cannot establish secure connection” and the DNS starts with https:// thus I don’t have a ssl certificate installed.

The domain is: sturza-mihai.eu.

Any advice is welcome… Have a great day!
