Good morning everyone, I am having issues with certbot, I understand I need to turn off the web services momentarily so that certbot has access to port 80. My issue is that I am not sure what I need to turn off.
I went to IIS and Stopped it there. I also stopped all the Services it was running.
If I can get an idea of what else I need to turn off, I would appreciate it.
It produced this output:
Problem binding to port 80: [WinError 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way
forbidden by its access permissions.
My web server is (include version):
Not sure.
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
Windows Server 2019 Standard, Version 1809.
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
N/A
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don't know):
Yes
I'm using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
No, IIS/Wordpress
The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot):
Certbot 1.24.0
If you're using IIS, and particularly if you're trying to get a certificate to use with IIS, you probably want to use one of the Windows-specific clients that's more designed for that use case. Certbot integrates with Apache/Nginx much easier than it integrates with IIS.
Hello Peter, thank you for your suggestion, I used win-acme and it was simple enough to generate it, now I have an issue where it says I have a valid cert but it is still not secure. Do you have any idea what this could be? I don't know if I need to do an extra step after generating the cert.
It looks like your site doesn't automatically redirect from http://berkeleycitizens.org to https://berkeleycitizens.org, so many browsers won't use the secure connection if you just type in the name.
Your site also has "mixed content", where even when your site loads over https:// it has embedded images and scripts and such which still load over http://.
I'm not familiar enough with IIS/win-acme or your site software (is it Wordpress?) to be able to give you specifics on how to fix those, but other people here might be.
