Ssl not working with any configuration

I have a very similar situation to this:

My domain is:

13.41.152.31

sudo apache2ctl -S

outputs

VirtualHost configuration:
*:443                  is a NameVirtualHost
         default server ip-172-26-10-245.eu-west-2.compute.internal (/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf:2)

certbot 1.27.0
on
apache2
Running on:
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Connected to serv via SSH

certbot 1.27.0

not only that but my apache2 is not respecting my server name or server alias. I have connected via telnet to 13.41.152.31 on both port 80 and port 443 and both are open, so I believe it is not a firewall issue. When I navigate directly to 13.41.152.31 the website loads perfectly so apache2 is doing some sort of job.

I have been racking my brains for days to no avail.

I can connect on port 80 but not on port 443.

Port 443 does look like a firewall is blocking it.

I’m assuming this is the key part here?

Edit

So how am I able to connect via external IP, and telnet?

Again, where are you making these connections from?

From the public internet, only these ports are open:

PORT   STATE SERVICE
22/tcp open  ssh
80/tcp open  http

Test result:

curl -I http://modahairsalon.co.uk

Because someone made a rule to allow it from your IP?

Okay I apologise for not providing the entire context. It’s running on a single lightsail instance, which I set up. As far as I can see it’s not on a VPC, and the only firewall rules I’ve added are for openSSH, and Apache, and that’s on the server itself. I can’t see anywhere that says AWS starts a VPC for single lightsail instances.

From my external client, which is using a mobile tethered data connection.

Have you reviewed your Lightsail firewall rules?

Erm..

:man_facepalming: turns out only ports 22 and 80 were allowed…thank you! Silly question, but I have a rewrite engine rule in place that directs all http to https, I’m guessing this is why it’s ONLY been accessible by direct IP?
