I just created a media wiki site for some folks in my community. I’m not experienced with these tools, I’m a python programmer who knows some SQL, no idea about PHP, webservers or any of this other stuff. Somehow I have managed to get the site up and running, but in the months I’ve been working on it the security certification has gone rotten.
From what I’ve read, it seems like maybe I have more than one application trying to listen/write to the same port (80), but I don’t know.
Everything is running from a gcp box which was clean when I started this project, I’ve got root access to that. My friend did some things with a DNS(?) thing, I don’t know what it was, but I think that’s how it got its domain name. I don’t have access to that right now, but I can ping her if something needs to be done there.
Can someone help me get this website secured?
My domain is:
folkin-wiki.krappenfest.com
I ran this command:
sudo certbot --apache -d folkin-wiki.krappenfest.com
It produced this output:
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
