I tried to follow the guide mentioned on this page but the site shows me a white screen on http:// version and throws a “unable to connect” error on https:// version. I am not sure what problem is. Can someone help me here? Thanks!
AI-generated summary
Site throws a blank screen after trying to enable LetsEncrypt: arun encountered an issue with their Discourse setup where the site showed a white screen on the HTTP version and threw an “unable to connect” error on the HTTPS version after attempting to enable LetsEncrypt.
After reissuing the cert, the HTTP version also showed an “unable to connect” error, indicating an issue with the cert installation. tgxworld suggested debugging steps and provided commands to reload the Nginx service. However, arun encountered an error, and tgxworld requested the output of docker ps.
After inspecting the output, tgxworld advised restarting the container. Ultimately, arun rebuilt the app, and the Discourse setup is now working with HTTPS and correctly installed certs, thanks to tgxworld’s assistance.
Have you gone through the debugging steps?
Well, I tried to see if certs were installed right. It showed total: 0. I tried Manually reissue the cert next and got it installed right. It shows total: 4 now.
But now, even the http:// version is messy now. Shows me “unable to connect” error. I do not understand the logs completely, but AFAIK, it shows that there is something messy with the cert installation.
Any leads here? Thanks!
Can you try the following commands?
./launcher enter app
sv reload nginx
Now it shows Error response from daemon: Container app is not running when I run this.
What does docker ps show?
You need to start the container again before running those commands.
I have no idea what just happened. But, I rebuilt the app and now, my Discourse setup is on HTTPS! The certs seems to be installed just right too. Thank you so much on the help, @tgxworld!
