@eva2000 Thanks Error is gone but Site is still untrusted

For Nginx-powered web server, I did this to make my site trusted:

cd /etc/letsencrypt/live/example/
cat cert.pem fullchain.pem > bundle.pem

Then I did this in my Nginx config file:
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example/bundle.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example/privkey.pem;

not really needed i just use fullchain.pem and no probs https://le12.http2ssl.xyz/

In fact fullchain.pem is just cat chain.pem cert.pem, you basically built cert -> LE root -> IdentTrust root -> cert. Since the validation stops with the trust anchor found for IdentTrust, it works, but it’s really superfluous at best.
