Hello
I had yunohost 2.4 working properly on my VPS but I decided to do a clean install again the other day. I used a fresh, updated debian and ran the install script. Everything went ok as far as I could tell, only now I can’t access my domain in Firefox. Before, I could add an exception to make Firefox accept the self-signed certificate, but now Firefox tells me that
“This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.”
and
“[my domain] uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown. The server might not be sending the appropriate intermediate certificates. An additional root certificate may need to be imported. Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER”
When I look at the certificate in Firefox, it says
“Peer’s Certificate issuer is not recognized. HTTP Strict Transport Security: true HTTP Public Key Pinning: false”
and it shows a certificate chain with two certificates, one after the other (two sets of begin and end markers). I don’t know if this part is relevant but it looked odd to my untrained eyes.
I’ve searched for a fix but have had no luck. I tried removing all relevant certificates in Firefox settings, and I tried deleting secmod.db and cert8.db from my profile folder, but neither make a difference. Interestingly, I can access my server through its IP address, just not the domain.
I can still access my domain through other browsers like chrome/vivaldi but it would be nice of firefox would let me in too. Does anyone have any ideas on where to start troubleshooting this problem?
Thanks
Edit: I should add that before reinstalling on my VPS I was messing around with a local VM instance and I registered a similar domain at nohost.me. I can’t imagine why this would affect the certificate for my other domain but you never know…
