I’ve tried several times now to get letsencrypt working. I was told I had ‘self signed’ the certificate althought at NO TIME have I selected this - and I dont want to self sign obviously.
I ran certbot-auto -apache
The server is a completely fresh install of centos 8 with default php install. Simple virtual server with this config
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName willfrost.co.uk
ServerAlias www.willfrost.co.uk
ServerAdmin webmaster@scintillae.net
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/willfrost.co.uk

RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
this is after the install.
I’m all out of ideas - a fresh install of centos 8 - no changes except for the above config file - running on digital ocean. We’ve also tried on AWS with the same result.
Help its just not working for us.
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=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.
