Secure connection error - setting up using Google Cloud VM
Mat, please change the passwords displayed in your privatebin link. That file will stay up for the amount of time you specified.
As for traccar, if you want it to operate, you will have to follow the how-to guides from Anton.
Thanks Kleent,
It's getting late now I'll try it all again and then maybe look again in the morning.
So I tried again this morning and used slightly different instructions on CertBot as I realised I'm using Ubuntu 19.10.
The install appeared to go fine however when I load https://my.website.co.uk - still going to the Apache index.html page, the certificate is working fine. I'm thinking the Cert etc is working fine but Apache is not redirecting to my server.
Looking at the Apache2 error log I see this:
/var/log/apache2$ tail -f error.log

The traccar config file (from yesterday's posted logs/config) had a repeated line for the proxy, plus some other errors. Hopefully you have started from a clean slate all together, otherwise please do so, as theses files are sensitive about what their are being fed. An extra dot or coma and everything crumbles down.
The install appeared to go fine
AH01909: my.website.co.uk:443:0 server certificate does NOT include an ID which matches the server name
If things went well, you should not see that kind of error.
You do not need to change/replace that .html file, please leave it alone; its not the issue.
Please follow these steps :
1 Get the How-to guides for the traccar.xml and traccar.conf files and adjust their contents to your needs
2 First test with self-signed certs to make sure that everything works smoothly as Let's Encrypt has limited number of cert generation requests (5 per week)
3 If everything is a ok from step 2, you can then target Let's Encrypt
Thanks Kleent,
I went back to the beginning and took my time. Working now :-)
Hmm - perhaps someone can delete that link then.
The traccar.xml file was working fine on http before I installed Apache2
I see what you mean about the (SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem ). however if I load my site it shows a valid certificate for LetsEncrypt.
