How to recover my site

Server
1

How do i remove redirect to https from the new instance server that i have? or how do i get my certificates from the previous instance server?

2

Can you tell us what server you use (Apache or Nginx)? You’ll want to look in your configuration, under /etc/, to find the lines that do the redirect, then remove those and restart your server.

Thanks for reply, Am using Apache and the thing is i had configured letsencrypt on an aws instance which it never worked, i also enabled redirect my domain to listen https. so i deleted that instance, i am using another instance in which it forces the domain to redirect to https while i have no certificate again on my new instance server.

How is it being forced?

I have allowed it redirect to https.

If you have a redirect configured somewhere in Apache, you may be able to identify its location using:

grep -RFin "RewriteCond %{HTTPS}" /etc/{apache2,apache,httpd}

It would be really helpful to know what your domain is, it would provide valuable information about how the redirect might be implemented.

Thanks, but am on new instance server which i have to start afresh installing certbot.

Hi @pmade

your domain is completely invisible ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=pagesmade.com ):

Only timeouts, nothing else. No redirect is visible.

Start your http, then use http - 01 validation.

You have one certificate created

https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/certificates?cert_search_auth=&cert_search_cert=&cert_search=include_expired:false;include_subdomains:false;domain:pagesmade.com&lu=cert_search

So it's not a critical problem with the rate limit. Create one new certificate.

so i fixed it but still i cant get the https, though i got the congratulation message.
Using:
AWS ubuntu 18.04
site pagesmade.com
Apache server

i only get http

You have a new certificate

https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/certificates?cert_search_auth=&cert_search_cert=&cert_search=include_expired:false;include_subdomains:false;domain:pagesmade.com&lu=cert_search

with two domain names (www + non-www), this is good.

Your http works, your https is blocked ( https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=pagesmade.com ):

Is there a firewall or something else?

on my ufw i allowed Apache Full

i followed this instructions on setting the site https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-18-04

HTTPS connections are currently being refused:

Connecting to www.pagesmade.com (www.pagesmade.com)|13.126.192.195|:443… failed: Connection refused.
Connecting to www.pagesmade.com (www.pagesmade.com)|52.66.95.210|:443… failed: Connection refused.

i cant understand also, is the problem due to aws or? my firewall is Apache Full allowed.

15

“Connection refused” usually means that the firewall is allowing traffic, but there isn’t any web server running on that IP and port.

16

so will it be the aws issue?

17

It’s impossible to say.

18

or is the installation procedure in https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-18-04 lack something?

19

Can you show what is running?
netstat -pant
