My web server is (include version):Debian 4.19.160-2 (2020-11-28) x86_64

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

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:Amazon Lightsail ( Bitnami )

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

There's no DNS record for your www subdomain.

You'll want to login to your AWS control panel and create a CNAME record from www.novipol.com. to novipol.com.

You can do this either in the Lightsail or Route53 interface, depending how you setup your domain.

I created a cname record, but this time the browser gives a warning.

There already is a CNAME according to my digs? At least, there was at 2021-02-13 10:21:21 UTC when I checked the hostname/domain out.

[_az]

It was created after my post. I think OP managed to create the certificate after creating the CNAME.

I think @kadirphp now needs to continue onto "Step 3" of the Bitnami SSL instructions, to configure their webserver with the certificate they created: Generate and Install a Let's Encrypt SSL Certificate for a Bitnami Application

Hm, pretty much close timing then, see my edit above As far as I know, there wasn't any reply yet when I looked at the hostname, but I didn't find anything strange, so didn't have anything to post at that time. Perhaps Discourse didn't update the thread around that time properly, I dunno.

[_az]

Perhaps! According to the timestamps, there was a 4 minute window between me posting and you checking. At least, the error from the ACME server supports that theory .

@_az @Osiris Thank you for your comments. I solved the problem.
