I’m trying to secure my we server using HTTPS and SSL/TLS to access my website. Going to the site by www.-----.------.compute-1.amazonaws.com works and the connection is successful. But when I try https://www.-----.------.compute-1.amazonaws.com chrome says "This site can’t be reached" "www.—–.——.compute-1.amazonaws.com refused to connect". I am using an Amazon Linux instance. Where did I go wrong?

  1. Chosen as BEST ANSWER

    I needed an SSL certificate from a CA (certificate authority). I was using a self-signed certificate which doesn't work in a browser.


  2. Typical problem. I am assuming some things here.

    • You launched a EC2 (or something similar) Instance
    • Didn’t Open 443 port or Configure it further.
    • Using port 80 for serving pages.
