Server timing out after installing Certbot certificates

ssl certbot

phoebus 5 years, 4 months ago

Hi, I've installed Wordpress on a Ubuntu 18.04 LAMP setup and the site was working fine under http.

I followed the guide on installing Certbot https://www.linode.com/docs/quick-answers/websites/secure-http-traffic-certbot/ and the certificate installed okay and I got the right messages as per the guide but now the site times out.

It is working in that if I type http it'll redirect to https. But a visit to https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html shows that it's unable to connect.

I've rebooted my Linode but still no joy. Any advice? I had my Wordpress URL set as http://www.mysite.com in the Admin panel (obviously my real URL) is that the problem?

If your url is set to mysite.com in Wordpress and that’s not your url then that’s probably the problem.

Thanks, tried everything, in the end I just did a fresh install and it fixed it.
