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. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): centos 7.6
My hosting provider, if applicable, is: Apache 2.4.6.89
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
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): 0.34.2
This is totally new space frr me so I don’t have a clue where to look.
I took a snapshot of my server before I began just in case. I tried to do all my domains at once and things did not work. I restored the snapshot and all the domains except tonightssky.com are working. This domain is forwarding to https unless you type in an exact URL like http://tonightssky.com.index.php
I restarted apache and even rebooted. I don’t see where the redirect is configured to set it back. Everything in /etc/httpd looks like I expect it.
Okay, how do I fix that? I’ve never played with https prior so this is new space and I was expecting it to just work. I will do one domain at s time once I get this all back to normal. To be honest I’m not even sure I’m reading the results at that page correctly. Also, are my other domains looking okay: ghaas.org, casazza,net, clearskyalarmclock.com, and stillwaterstargazers.com?
Is there some DNS caching that could be involved?
It seems to be working for some computers, but I want to make sure all is well.
Okay, I am pretty sure the server is fine. My PC, however, is crazy confused. Google Chrome is determined to redirect to HTTPS even after I removed the site cookies. I guess I will have to purge all my browser data. Ugh! I’ll wait a day. Other browsers on my PC and incognito mode work well so I know the problem is local.
I see certs were issued, but since I restored my server they are gone. Will this cause any problems when I try this again? I plan to take a domain I don’t care about and get it working, then move on to more important domains 1 by 1.
Yes, it's only a problem of that browser. Checking with the incognito mode is always a good idea. And that's one reason online tools are required to test that - online tools start new.
