Domain becomes unavailable after installing certificate

[koyan]

Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is:

I ran this command: certbot --nginx

It produced this output: Congratulations! You have successfully enabled HTTPS on https://api.scmydomain.com

My web server is (include version):

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: nginx version: nginx/1.14.1

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know): Yes

I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): No

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): certbot 1.32.0

I have my nginx up and running. It replies if you try to access directly the IP: http://91.227.41.112/
I pointed my subdomain to that IP. It was working fine. (no https).
I installed certbot and installed the certificate.
Accessing via IP continued working, but accessing via the domain stopped.

My nginx.conf was modified by certbot. I had not kept a copy of how it was before it got modified.
I cannot figure out it doesn't work as expected. Any help?

When I run nginx -t I get this:

nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

My nginx.conf is this:

Do you have port 443 port forwarded and permitted in any firewalls?

It looks like the certificate installation went fine, HTTPS requires port 443 to be open on the network.

Thanks (yes, that was it)
