Alright so I’m on my Ubuntu 18.04 LTS VPS, and I’m building the app and everything. After it’s done, I go to the website, and it just says Welcome to NGINX! [nb] I have no idea what made it do this, the app.yml looks normal, so I don’t know.

Well I finally got it. Here’s what I did. I installed Caddy, and setup a proxy to redirect all connections from the URL to localhost:444, but that wasn’t it. I went into the app.yml and changed the Port to this - "81:80" - HTTP moved to port 81 to reserve for Caddy -"444:443" -Caddy Will Handle HTT…

Maybe you have another nginx webserver running on that server. I’ve never witnessed Discourse give up and display the generic nginx welcome page.

That’s what I thought, so I looked for a process name that matched NGINX, I got nothing. Then I listed all the processes, but there was nothing? EDIT: I’ve never installed NGINX on that server

Although I remembered how I got to this. I set an email for Lets Encrypt, it was ls@theforumssite.xyz, then I un-commented that and the two templates. Then I rebuilt the app, then it didn’t work. I reset everything (deleted the discourse folder) and set it up again, and it does the same thing.

Okay well now it’s working all of the sudden? But still no HTTPS (Connection Refused)

Okay, now I have no idea what’s going on. I create two ssl files (ssl.crt ssl.key) and put them in /var/discourse/shared/standalone/ssl, I enable the ssl template (Not Let’s Encrypt), and I add this config in the run section. When I go to HTTPS, it refuses the connection, but now when I go to HTTP, …

It would be better if you’d kept this in your other topic . Rather than fuss with your own certs, the easy solution is to re-run ./discourse-setup and give it an email address for let’s encrypt and it’ll do all the work for you. If you want to do it the hard way, you’ll need to search here for the t…
