If an error or success is encountered, the log will show you a message.

Note: In the current version of FASTPANEL, you need to point to the domain name as well as the www subdomain of the domain name to be able to install SSL Let’s Encrypt. For example, if your subdomain is abc.domain.com, you must also point to the A record or the CNAME record www.abc.domain.com your VPS/server IP to install.

However, even when we receive the SSL certificate successfully, we still have to tweak a few more operations to use it.

We return to the FASTPANEL dashboard select the website to install SSL => select the Site card.

Note:

  • 1: Here you need to select the certificate that was initialized earlier.
  • 2: Turn on redirect to HTTPS so that the website does not work in parallel with SSL and non-SSL versions, enable HSTS to improve security, turn on HTTP2 to increase website speed.
  • 3: After tweaking, click Save changes.

Step 3: Check the certificate on the website

We try to access the newly installed website again, we will see the SSL padlock icon, when we click on the SSL details, we will see that the SSL is issued by Let’s Encrypt.
