Forum not loading

@jac Well, there’s a couple of choices. I now have this working from the CERTBOT perspective, so I think that this will work once the retries counter has been reset. So

1. You wait until the retry counter is reset (typically next day) then attempt to renew the cert then
2. You purchase a cert, and not have to worry about it for a year

Up to you.

Another option is to route the domain via Cloudflare. This will provide a free certificate, but does come at a price in the sense that it will impact the websocket server to the point where the direct socket doesn’t work, and will fall back to XMLHTTP.

If you’re willing to go down this route, I can facilitate

Probably the most logical I guess.

Is this a sensible option as in will it slow the forum down / increase loading time?

[phenomlab]

@jac No, quite the opposite in fact

[JAC]

@phenomlab Great!

Is there any risk with doing that then?

[phenomlab]

@jac No, not really. I’ll do it now.

@phenomlab Many thanks pal

@jac As you do not have a Cloudflare account, we will need to create one - or, I can tack your domain onto my account meaning I will be responsible for it.

Up to you.

Before we go down this route, I’m going to wait an hour to see if I can renew the LE cert.

[JAC]

@phenomlab Absolutely no problem pal .

Having read the last message sent, if you do go down this route I am more than happy for it to be added to your account, but only if you are, or I can create my own.

Ok, no issues. I’ll add it to my account - but only if the LE renewal fails

@jac I just managed to renew the cert You’re back in the game…

Brilliant!

Many thanks Mark, how did you manage that?

[phenomlab]

@jac I noticed that the .well-known directories for LE had been deleted from your default web server path, so I recreated them and forced a renew
