I followed the Laracasts video instructions to add a LetsEncrypt SSL certificate to my site as described here: https://laracasts.com/series/server-management-with-forge/episodes/12
Now I can't access my site on https:// or http:// . If I type in http:// it automatically redirects to https:// and then fails with a message that the site can't be reached.
Might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address. ERR_SPDY_INADEQUATE_TRANSPORT_SECURITY'.
I am using Laravel Forge with Digital Ocean. I am running PHP 7.
Any ideas?
Regards, David
This has now been resolved. Taylor looked into the issue for me and discovered that there was a problem with the Nginx config in the DigitalOcean Droplet that was created via Forge on 17/04/2016. It seems this was a rare case, I have since destroyed the server and recreated everything from scratch, the LetsEncrypt process works perfectly now.
