I am hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. My current HA install is using Let’s Encrypt certs and is accessible using a domain I have. As the renewal for my LE certs fast approaches, I was purchasing a cert for work and decide to grab a 3 year SSL cert to use for my HA installation. I grabbed the cert from Namecheap for $20 for the 3 years.
Current Configuration
http:
base_url: https://myhome.abcname.com:8123
ssl_certificate: /ssl/myhome.abcname.com-chain.pem
ssl_key: /ssl/myhome.abcname.com-key.pem
The certificate zip file from Namecheap had the following files. Both files are text format so I believe they are PEM format.
- myhome_xyzname_com.ca-bundle
- myhome_xyzname_com.crt
I have uploaded the files to the ssl folder and updated configuration.yaml as shown below.
base_url: https://myhome.xyzname.com:8123
ssl_certificate: /ssl/myhome.xyzname.com.ca-bundle.pem
ssl_key: /ssl/myhome.xyzname.com.priv.pem
NOTE: New certificate files and the name URL in the base_url field.
After a reboot of the HA host, I try to access HA using the new URL -> https://myhome.xyzname.com:8123
I keep getting “ERR Connection Refused” in the browser. I have ping the name name and get the correct IP address returned.
Can anyone suggest a solution or some troubleshooting steps?
Thanks
Anthony
