My domain is: ln.heartshine.xyz

I ran this command: sudo certbot renew

It produced this output:

My web server is: nginx 1.10.3

The operating system my web server runs on is: Debian 9.8 (stretch)

I can login to a root shell on my machine: yes, via sudo

I’m using a control panel to manage my site: no

The version of my client is: 0.28.0

Here’s the thing: the /public directory most definitely exists (it must, since it’s the actual root of my server). My nginx config is below.

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;
        server_name ln.heartshine.xyz;
        return 301 https://ln.heartshine.xyz$request_uri;
}
server {
        listen 443 ssl http2;
        listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
        server_name ln.heartshine.xyz;
        ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/ln.heartshine.xyz/fullchain.pem;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/ln.heartshine.xyz/privkey.pem;
        ssl_ciphers 'EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH';
        ssl_dhparam /etc/nginx/ssl/dhparam.pem;
        ssl_protocols TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
        root /var/www/ln.heartshine.xyz/public;
        index index.php index.html;

        location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args
;
        }
        location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri =404;
                include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
                fastcgi_pass  php-handler;
                fastcgi_index index.php;
                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root $fastcgi_script_name;
                fastcgi_param HTTP_HOST $server_name;
    }
}

I tried manually creating a file in .well-known, which you can access here: file deleted

I don’t know where else to go.

Hi @EmberHeartshine

looks like a simple typo in your config file. There is /pubic/ - not /public/.

But your configuration is wrong - https://check-your-website.server-daten.de/?q=ln.heartshine.xyz

You have redirects to google.com, that can't work. Looks like a test or something else.

That is the configuration for polr, the shortlink utility hosted at that address. The redirects to Google at the root are correct. If there is more information after the uri (i.e. the shortlink string), it will not redirect.

This was the fix, thanks. I have no idea how that got changed (I've never edited my confs before), but it worked.
