I have setup the Discourse installation on a Amazon AWS EC2 without Let’s Encrypt. The docker is listening on port 80 and 443 but I can’t access the site via HTTPS. HTTP works fine but not HTTPS. [image] With HTTPS I get the chrome browser error “ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED” I have already allowed 80 and 443 withing Amazon EC2: [image] I am trying to access the site at the moment via the public IP4: http://18.220.41.204 is working but not https://18.220.41.204. Can anybody help?

As I said earlier, IP based installs are wholly unsupported. Let’s encrypt will work immediately, the certificate verification method is DNS.

Https over a port without a certificate? How?

Accessing via IP isn’t supported. What certificate are you using to access over 443? Self-signed?

No certificate at the moment. This was only a test before I point my domain subdomain to the Amazon EC2. I will create another thread of my main problem because I wanted to test this with Amazon EC2 :wink:

Did you run discourse-setup? Did you enable let’s encrypt there?

[image] chrisonline: but not https://18.220.41.204. It seems you fixed it using a certificate as above link is currently responding.

I pointed my subdomain now to the IP and rerun the setup with SSL. After a few hours it is now working.
