HTTPS died for a bit

Post by exxos »

I was trying to fix some issues on my mail server and killed HTTPS on the forum for about a hour.. It should all be fixed now.. but if people wonder why they appeared to get booted, its because HTTPS "died" :)

EDIT:

Things seem to be timing out, could be coincidence, but raised a support ticket just to make sure i've not screwed up something.

I was getting a certificate error for a while but it all looks good now.

Looks like it is only valid for www.exxoshost.co.uk not exxoshost.co.uk (which I was using) as well

@exxos I'd agree re the certificate, it is only valid for www.exxoshost.co.uk

It is pretty bizarre that my mail server had been using my self assigned certificates as opposed to the let's encrypt one's for the past three years.. But it was only over the past few weeks that Thunderbird started to complain about all this :shrug: I looked through all my server install notes and could not find me ever mentioning changing it :roll:

In any case, this could explain why some of the emails sent out during orders ended up in people's spam folders more than they should :shrug:
