Connection not private

Its sorted now , Certbot that renews the SSL certificate was erroring out

 

How did you post , when I got the message I couldnt access the forum

 

Your error while related was slightly different. Your time on your phone wasn't matching the time on the server so with the SSL down your browser throw up a more extreme error as it looks even more suspicious. If you time was in sync with the server you would have got the standard 'Connection isn't private' error which you can click advanced and choose to ignore it

 

Ah I tried on my PC also but didnt click advanced

 

I suspect Karl also doesn't understand what he posted either as he basically just copied my email lol.

To explain better the security certificate that ensures the connection between yourself and the web server is secure (the thing than causes the domain to have the padlock next to it in the browser address bar) needs renewed every 90 days. This is automatically done by a piece of software called certbot. When it tried doing it at 8:47pm it errored (I was already working on fixing it before anyone posted about it or before Karl emailed me)

I tried manually running it and it still gave an error so I had to try and work out why that was. In the end I just un installed certbot, rebooted the server, reinstalled it, rebooted again and then ran the manual command which worked. Then I set up the automatic renewal again so hopefully we won't have the issue again in 90 days
