Did a Wordpress one-click-install on Digital Ocean droplet and migrated my database. After everything was setup I tried installing Let's encrypt SSL and faced few interruptions like console freezing up, python-certbot-apache not found, multiple v-host issue etc. I managed to install the SSL for both domain.com and www.domain.com and the SSL labs test for both verify that the SSL certificates are working. When I enter domain.com and press enter, it automatically changes to https://www.domain.com, all good. Certbot renewal dry run works fine too.
Now here is the problem, all the internal links on the website pointing to www.domain.com still stay http and wont automatically change to https. I can force https through wordpress plugins but I am not sure if this is the right way. Neither do I know if the SSL certificate for www.domain.com has been installed correctly. How do i fix this?
This is my default.conf file if needed
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/html <Directory /var/www/html/> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =domain.com RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent] </VirtualHost>
And this is my 000-default-le-ssl.conf file. I selected this for www.domain.com when prompted to choose between two v-hosts
IfModule mod_ssl.c> <VirtualHost *:443> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/html <Directory /var/www/html/> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Require all granted </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined ServerName domain.com Include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf ServerAlias www.domain.com SSLCertificateFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.com/fullchain.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/domain.com/privkey.pem </VirtualHost> </IfModule>
