Hi there, cant seem to get around this issue! when visiting my site phils.app . the IP doesnt resolve and it eventually times out. Heres the steps I followed: Setup a droplet Added my domain (changed DNS to Digital Ocean) Followed tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-an-ssl-certificate-from-a-commercial-certificate-authority Setup my certificate signing request Installed Certificate When I run checks on the site using ‘whynopadlock’ they seem to go well… valid certificate, domain matching, signature, validity. Just a warning shows that I dont have an mx record and am currently using TLSv1. I dont really have any error or info to work with, but surely its a noobie error and ive missed a step somewhere. url is https://phils.app

Hello, What I could suggest here is: First check if Apache is running: systemctl status apache2 If Apache is not running you could try starting it: systemctl start apache2 If this is not the case, check if Apache is actually listening on port 443: netstat -plant | grep 443 If you don’t see any output, run a config test: apachectl -t And if you get Syntax OK restart Apache: systemctl restart apache2 Lastly if all that does not help, make sure to check your Apache error logs: tail -100 /var/log/apache/error.log Regards,Bobby

Hi there,

cant seem to get around this issue! when visiting my site phils.app . the IP doesnt resolve and it eventually times out. Heres the steps I followed:

Setup a droplet
Added my domain (changed DNS to Digital Ocean)

Followed tutorial: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-an-ssl-certificate-from-a-commercial-certificate-authority

Setup my certificate signing request
Installed Certificate

When I run checks on the site using ‘whynopadlock’ they seem to go well…

valid certificate, domain matching, signature, validity. Just a warning shows that I dont have an mx record and am currently using TLSv1.

I dont really have any error or info to work with, but surely its a noobie error and ive missed a step somewhere.
