 Posted: Tue 06 Dec '22 5:53 Post subject: Okay until Let's Encrypt inst - router not allow 443 |
 |
|
Hello,
I have installed apache in VirtualBox on ubuntu 20.04 and it has been working fine with a domain name delegated to my hone IP address. Can't complain here until..
decided I need to change it to https.
Create the certifivale and all went well until https would not resolve at the site like ti did before with http. I couldn't change it as it auto took http to https.
I tried to port fwd 443 to make it all work but found the router Netcomm NF18 MESH said 443 was used by it and it couldn't be changed.
By this time I'm in a mess and tried many things suggested at forums, ytutube and on web but nothing worked.
Now apache will not start and I'm in a mess.
Let's Encrypt let me download the pm for my certificate in case I needed it but the problem is I can't use 443.
I feel like deleting the whole shibang and starting again. New apache, new .conf files, htmls, everything.
Is that my best bet or is there a quicker way for me to get this back on the rails ?
Thank you in anticipation.

As an extra to the previous post this is the mysite-ssl.conf file where is says line 12 is a problem.
On my editor line 12 is the first <Directory>
| Code: |
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName <VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName mysitemc.com
ServerAlias www.mysitemc.com
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot /var/www/mysitemc
<Directory>

There is something wrong with this line 12 - the directory is missing which the following configuration should be used for.
I guess there should be slash added
| Code: | <Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all denied
</Directory> |

You may check the syntax after changes
| Code: |
source /etc/apache2/envvars
/usr/sbin/apachectl -S
|
The envvars file is an ubuntu thing... |

After the previous post I did a systemctl status apache2 and this was the result..
Below it I have the lines around 12 of the -ssl file

Well with thanks at last, with lots of help from the web I guess message shows apache is working
Now just have to work out why all the sites change from http to https and why it lands at the front door of the router instead of going through to the site. Maybe I should start a new thread for this?
