myApp.StartServerHTTP2(srvr, "srvr", port, 443,"keystore","b12xxxxx","b12xxxxx" ) ' port = 51046
Is this correct?


I purchased SSL cert from SSLs.com (namecheap)...

I had my VPS provider setup the certs on my VPS.
I created a keystore (named keystore) according to this command - and answering questions...

keytool -keystore keystore -alias jetty -genkey -keyalg RSA

Updated server with new jar and rebooted. The jar did start on the server, however
now I can't run the app in my browser.

That is what I get on my dev... which has no ssl certs...
Copied jar to server, nothing shows up in the logs...

You do have your keystore.jks file next to the jar? And ae running java 9+?

No keystore.jks in File.DirApp...
Just "keystore" file.

Java

java version "1.8.0_181"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_181-b13)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.181-b13, mixed mode)
root@hwsrv-206966:~#


This process seems confusing - and of course it would - cause I ultimate dummie...

Thanks AB

So I need to update as you suggest...

To what version? I have read many posts with updating to 11 (10, and others) and hearing many issues (real or not).

My VPS is Ubuntu, 18.04 LTS.

Not great with command line updates. Takes much google searching to find a suitable method to patch.
Thanks God no matter how much I screw up, Linux always recovers, and I carry on - no harm - no foul.
With MS, I would have to format Drive C:


Thanks

When I contacted my VPS provider who installed the cert, they had NO idea what I was referring to when I mentioned the "keystore" file to make my app work.... WTF?

I´m really not a pro in this but i want to share my 2cent:
I do have a cheap VPS to play around with it.

I am using letsencrypt certs to secure my webserver on the VPS.
The plus on this certs is that they are Trusted ones.

I did installed the certbot using ssh and their Documentations.

https://certbot.eff.org/

For you i guess it is
https://certbot.eff.org/lets-encrypt/ubuntubionic-apache.html

List of all Instructions
https://certbot.eff.org/all-instructions


Another Tutorial

Hope it helps!?

Make sure the 443 is not 443, but the port you are using (51046)

make first port # 51046, this is for http:// access. Make the second port 51047. That will be for https:// access
