Root domain not trusted

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. crt.sh | example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: sundru.net

I ran this command: certbot certificates

It produced this output:

Found the following certs:
Certificate Name: sundru.net
Key Type: ECDSA
Domains: sundru.net app.sundru.net blog.sundru.net www.sundru.net
Expiry Date: 2025-04-18 07:39:25+00:00 (VALID: 71 days)

My web server is (include version): Apache

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 9.5

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: No

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

The version of my client is (e.g. output of certbot --version or certbot-auto --version if you're using Certbot): certbot 2.11.0

the root certificate shows as not trusted aka vendor signed. but the https://blog.sundru.net loads fine can anyone point me in the right direction to fix the root domain https://sundru.net

Hello @sight01, welcome to the Let's Encrypt community. :slightly_smiling_face:

Please show the output of sudo apachectl -t -D DUMP_VHOSTS and sudo certbot certificates.

I find all 4 domain names are supplying this certificate crt.sh | 16299832170

That all looks fine. Where do you see the "Root domain not trusted" error?

Would you explain that in more detail?

Because as Bruce's post shows an SSL Checker site says your domains are working properly. The SSL Labs test site says it is working well too. SSL Server Test: sundru.net (Powered by Qualys SSL Labs)

thanks for the help !

my problem ended up something real simple / dumb.

My edge browser had secure dns setup. which was set to opendns
Apparently something is up with open dns using this path https://doh.opendns.com/dns-query{?dns} to resolve my domains. other secure dns providers works just fine.
