I recently installed Nextcloud 23 on a new server I built. The other day I had successfully installed my Nextcloud instance and was able to get the ssl installed successfully. However, the day after I had continued to harden my server only to find out that I broken the connection. I had continued to receive HTTP 500 Errors. Despite trying to back track and undo what I had done, I was unsuccessful. I ended up wiping the wiping the hard drive and reinstalling Debian 11.
Fast forward, today I was able to get Nextcloud reinstalled and I'm able to access it through HTTP. I ran the command I entered above only to receive that error message listed in the output.
I have an Asus router with Asuswrt-Merlin installed. Port forwarding was enabled on both port 80 and port 443. I'm using DDNS through Asus. I had the option to obtain an SSL through my router for Let's Encrypt so I tried that and re-ran the command, didn't work.
Every possible combination I could think of as far as settings go I've tried. Removed and readded port forwarding profiles on the router; editing firewall and even as far as disabling the firewall on my server and on my router completely. Ran the command again and that still didn't work.
I've no exceeded the number of attempts to obtain and install a cert using certbot. I'm a noob so I'm sure I have missed something completely, somewhere in the process.
