Hi @iot,

It seems to me like you don’t have a Nginx config listening for port 443 for your domain.

Usually, Let’s Encrypt should create that automatically for you and the config should be found at /etc/nginx/sites-available. Go there and see if you can spot an SSL config for your domain theexample.com.

If you can’t create a new config following the same pattern from the https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-nginx-on-ubuntu-20-04#step-5-setting-up-server-blocks-recommended tutorial. The config should look like this:

server {
    listen              443 ssl;
    server_name         example.com www.example.com;
    root /var/www/example.com/html;
    index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    server_name your_domain www.your_domain;
    ssl_certificate     /path/to/SSL/CERT/www.example.com.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key  /path/to/SSL/Key/www.example.com.key;
    
    location / {
            try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    }
}

Once you create the config, follow the other steps in the mentioned tutorial to finish the setup.
