Description:
Hey I have an issue. I tried to to set up an SSL cert for NGINX with the alternative approach (Approach B)

I got stuck when I had to install the Lego, after getting a lot of error messages I closed the SSH window and wanted to start over but now my website is down.

When I try to restart niginx I get the following message:

nginx: [emerg] cannot load certificate "/opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server.crt": BIO_new_file() failed (SSL: error:0200
1002:system library:fopen:No such file or directory:fopen('/opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server.crt','r') error:2006D080:
BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file)

I've been wrestling with getting my DNS and SSL settings right for a while now, it's getting a bit stressful. I'd appreciate some help

Thanks in advance

Hello @tarik,

As the error says, /opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server.crt does not exist. Could you run these commands?

sudo mv /opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server.key /opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server.key.old
sudo ln -sf /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/certificates/dayemon.com.key /opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server.key
sudo ln -sf /opt/bitnami/letsencrypt/certificates/dayemon.com.crt /opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server.crt
sudo chown root:root /opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server*
sudo chmod 600 /opt/bitnami/nginx/conf/server*
sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart

I hope it helps
