SSL not working while I put only domain name

[htcertify]

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. https://crt.sh/?q=htcertify.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: htcertify.com

I ran this command:

It produced this output:

My web server is (include version): Nginx, Ubuntu 18

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Ubuntu

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: AWS

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):

N.T: I have successfully installed SSL, but when I put only domain name (htcertify.com), it showing error. Also if I give www.htcertify.com, its showing the same issue (ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT). Only if I put https://htcertify.com, then my site is appearing. I know I made some mistakes but can identify that. Please help me.

Check your EC2 security group. You need to have TCP port 80 open, as well as 443. If it’s not your security group, check whether it’s a firewall on the Ubuntu server (i.e. ufw status).

Once that is fixed, you’ll also want to re-issue your certificate in order to also include the ‘www’ subdomain on it.

With Certbot, this would be done by e.g.:

-d htcertify.com -d www.htcertify.com

Thanks for your reply. I have enabled ufw and my status is
Status: active

--                         ------      ----
Nginx Full                 ALLOW       Anywhere
80/tcp                     ALLOW       Anywhere
443/tcp                    ALLOW       Anywhere
Nginx Full (v6)            ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)

443/tcp (v6)               ALLOW       Anywhere (v6)

But still I’m facing same issue. You have told me to re-issue the cert using certbot. I have used --standalone is this okay?

Well, I still can’t connect on port 80 to your server. Did you check the security group as well?

Is nginx listening on 80 at all?

sudo ss -tlnp | grep nginx

I have still doubt that my nginx server is listening 80 or not. Actually i’m new in ubuntu. I have executed ur command that you gave me. the result is:

LISTEN   0         128                 0.0.0.0:80               0.0.0.0:*        users:(("nginx",pid=29788,fd=8),("ngin ",pid=29783,fd=8))
LISTEN   0         128                 0.0.0.0:443              0.0.0.0:*        users:(("nginx",pid=29788,fd=10),("nginx",pid=29783,fd=10))
LISTEN   0         128                    [::]:80                  [::]:*        users:(("nginx",pid=29788,fd=9),("ngin ",pid=29783,fd=9))

Yes, it’s for sure listening on port 80.

This still looks like a firewall issue to me. But if you say that your EC2 Security Group already allows port 80, then I dunno.

What is the actual listen line in nginx?

grrep -Ri "listen " /etc/nginx

Edit: have you checked the security group in your AWS console? I notice you haven’t answered the few times I have asked.

Thanks for your help dear. It was not allowed in my Security group. I have allowed it and now its working. Thanks buddy.
