Hello, I have created a Ghost 1-click droplet and followed all the instructions on the site, but I just can’t link it to my domain. I have created the A records (DNS has updated), but there seems to be a problem with the SSL certificate.
I have bought a PositiveSSL certificate and linked it to my domain (didn’t install it yet) and don’t know if this is causing the problem. I can access the blog via the IP, but not over my domain (it refuses to connect.)

Update: I managed to run it on my domain with http://www.domain.com, but when I run ghost config url https://www.domain.com the site crashes and returns “refused to connect”.
I also run ghost setup ssl but it throws an error (domain.com here is just a placeholder):
