Can't get LetsEncrypt SSL certificate to work with AWS Lightsail

Question

I'm setting up a domain with AWS Lightsail but I cat gete it to work on HTTPS. I followed the instructions here: https://docs.bitnami.com/aws/how-to/generate-install-lets-encrypt-ssl/ Also tried this: https://cloudconfusing.com/2018/05/13/moving-a-lightsail-instance-to-https-with-lets-encrypt-certbot/

I also tried creating the certificate inside Lightsail console, by going on Load balancer -> Create a certificate -> filling the data -> Create But simply nothing happens. No error message or anything.

I thought port 443 was blocked in the firewall, but it is open just like port 80 in the instance networking settings. Any ideas on what else I could try?

Answer 1

i did it successfully with my lightsail application and it is working fine.i did the following steps.

1. Turn off all Bitnami services: sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh stop

2. Request a new certificate for your domain ( replace your email and domain ):sudo lego --tls --email="EMAIL-ADDRESS" --domains="DOMAIN" --domains="www.DOMAIN" --path="/etc/lego" run [ You can use more than one domain (for example, DOMAIN and

   www.DOMAIN) by specifying the --domains option as many times as the number of domains you want to specify ]

3. Bitnami has already a default key and crt file please rename those:

   mv/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/server.crt/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/server.crt.old

   mv/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/server.key/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/server.key.old

   mv/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/server.csr/opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/server.csr.old

4. Create a symbolic link: Replace DOMAIN with your domain ln -s /etc/lego/certificates/DOMAIN.key /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/server.key ln -s /etc/lego/certificates/DOMAIN.crt /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/server.crt

5. Change permissions chown root:root /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/server* chmod 600 /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/server*

6. restart your service: /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start

Answer 2

I believe you need to adjust the permissions on the key and the cert. Try this:

sudo chmod 600 /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/server*

Notice how the permissions on your new key/crt don't match those on your old ones.
