Hi, When people try to log in, depending on the browser, they get the following messages: BRAVE: This site can’t be reached The webpage at https://wespenreboards.com/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_FAILED” FIREFOX: "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to wespenreboards.com. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time. It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details." Has a certificate expired? If so, what do I do? My URL is, wespenreboards.com/ Thanks, Wes Penre

I just noticed that my Discourse does not have an app.yml file, so I created one (see screenshot). However, the new yml file does not show up in the directory (again, see screenshot). What to do? Should I enter certain information to the file? If so, what should I add? [5]

Hi @WesPenre :slight_smile: If I remember rightly, you have a two-container set-up so you won’t have an app.yml, as neither of your containers are called app. Have you done a rebuild of your Discourse recently? I think letsencrypt should use that as an opportunity to renew your certificates. If you’re on a two-container set-up I think you can do this by using the ‘access console’ on your Digital Ocean droplet page for an easy way to SSH into your server, and then: cd /var/discourse git pull ./launcher bootstrap web_only && ./launcher destroy web_only && ./launcher start web_only

Thanks, JammyDodger! Running it now, and we’ll see what happens.

It’s finished, but I still cannot log into wespenreboards.com/ .

Seems to be working fine for me so far? Secure connection, plus I have just signed up to test and you should see me in the approval queue.

Yay! Now I see your request! Do you want me to make you an Admin, so you can check it all out?

It seems like everything is working as intended, so you can probably just delete that test account. :slight_smile: I don’t think the admin UI will tell me anything useful in this case (though we can always sign me up for another one in the future if you need something else :+1:) Though, just to check, is everything working as expected now?

OK, sounds good regarding your test account. I’ll delete it… I will check now if everything seems to work, and I’ll be back here…

Yes, it’s working again! I really, really appreciate this, JammyDodger. Thanks a lot!

Oh, one last question. Why did the certificate expire? Will it expire again in the future?

Hi @WesPenre

The error should be further up than your screenshot has included. Could you paste your full log here so people can see what the issue may be?
