sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start not working after Cert Update

[donmb1]

Hi all,

Following this guide which has been updated on 25th of October, the bitnami instance is not starting anymore after installing a certificate with certbot

https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-using-lets-encrypt-certificates-with-wordpress#complete-the-prerequisites-lets-encrypt-wordpress

sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start

Something is broken - either in the guide or in the file structure of bitnami servers.

@donmb1 Can you please try the following? This assumes you've already completed the certbot steps that are in the doc.

1. Run the following command. Important: In the command, replace "example.com" with the actual domain that you're configuring.

   DOMAIN=example.com

2. Run the following commands one by one:

   sudo ln -s /etc/letsencrypt/live/$DOMAIN/privkey.pem /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/certs/server.key sudo ln -s /etc/letsencrypt/live/$DOMAIN/fullchain.pem /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/certs/server.crt

   3. Then try to start the services again:

   sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh start
