This is brilliant thank you. This is going to save me dozens of hours.

I appreciate the offer. If I get stuck I’ll dump it. If it’s as straight forward as everyone says I should be able to pull it off it looks so easy. Don’t want to make others do my work for me unduly.

How hard would it be to switch in your experience… I’d love something this simple. Nervous to tear stuff down though.

Certainly will look into it thanks for the heads up!

We are a community oriented business and I really hate the big tech companies controlling the fate of my company. Lemmy seemed like one of a few easy alternative platforms where we were free from being stuck under the thumb of a tech giant or a ban away from loosing our members.

Unfortunately no, though that sounds very nice.

Thanks for the breakdown.

The only thing I can think of that might be interfering is HSTS? I’m not sure how acme is accessed when a browser can only access a site with ssl. Perhaps HSTS is interfering with the cert process somehow?

This is out of my skillset but I’m sure there’s documentation online I can check out to give it a shot. We use this server for our (very) small business so I’m trying not to jack anything up worse than it is but it seems like something I could potentially tackle. Thank you.

This sounds like a good backup plan and I’ll probably definitely have to resort to trying it - thank you for the suggestion.

Thanks I’m gonna check this out first thing. I thought that was weird but I’m not sure what in httpd.conf could be interfering with the process. I will give the file a better read through and see what I can come up with - it’s a good starting point.

Just popping in this morning to thank everyone for their suggestions overnight. I have some stuff to look at now when I get to the office this morning. Can’t respond to every comment at the moment but I will. Just wanted to say thanks.

I am not.

My friend chose it, he was old school. I don’t personally have a preference between the two but we use this server for our small business so I haven’t really wanted to risk messing everything up to switch when it’s (mostly) currently functional.

Are you referring to the ‘does not contain DNS’? Or the ‘apache,/’ because both are a bit confusing to me honestly
