Issue with Let's Encrypt Certificate on Web App

Asked by Mollie Semmes
Hello! I am trying to deploy a new Laravel web app and cannot get the SSL certificate to work. I have 2 other apps running and the Let’s Encrypt certificate worked automatically. All my DNS records look correct (using AWS), but when I go to my subdomains, I get a warning saying this site is not fully secure and the certificate is issued by Google Trust Services, not Let’s Encrypt. Anyone else have this issue?

Heya @molliesemmes,
How exactly are you trying to deploy the Let’s Encrypt?
Also, are you using the App Platform https://www.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform
or a Droplet?
If you are using the App Platform, the SSL will be installed automatically only when you have pointed your domain/subdomain to the platform.
As for a Droplet, if you are using one, can you share the logs of
cerbotwhen you try to install the let’s encrypt SSL?Heya,
You can visit your subdomains and click on the padlock icon in the browser’s address bar. View the certificate details to see which certificate authority issued it and which domain names it covers.
If necessary, manually renew your certificates with
certbot renewor reissue them with:Note: Replace
yourdomain.comandsub.yourdomain.comwith your actual domain names.Regards
