TLS Error

Hey @nelsonic I've been making my way through the tutorial for setting up an SSL certificate but I keep running into an error with TLS:
I've been googling around but can't seem to find anything that's helpful for my use-case.
Did you experience this error at all?
@jackcarlisle when you visit http://jumpstartjs.com/ what do you expect to see?
(trying to confirm if the DNS has been properly configured to point to Heroku...?)
@nelsonic so it should forward to http://www.jumpstartjs.com which points to jumpstartjs.com.herokudns.com
Here's my DNS config:
Currently if I visit http://jumpstartjs.com it forwards to https://www.jumpstartjs.com :
If I go to just www.jumpstartjs.com I see this:
because I'm still deploying the letsencrypt-temporary-server branch.
@jackcarlisle so far so good. 👍
When you visit the url for the .well-known/acme-challenge/...etc does it download a file?
also, is your plan to use the www. subdomain as your main URL?
@nelsonic I've re-run certbot but I'm still experiencing this TLS error, any idea for what might be causing it?
I re-ran it again and it gave me a different error this time:
It keeps asking me to create two files in .well-known/acme-challenge. Am I doing something wrong @nelsonic ?
When I visit https://www.jumpstartjs.com/.well-known/acme-challenge/9ChX8PerOn21OR_ARdyXUFhjj-TTbgnxp3NlsfASGYc it says that this site can't provide a secure connection. It might be something to do with my DNS but I'm not sure where to start. When I visit the http version of the url it downloads the file as expected.
Solution
In my DNS settings I was forwarding my requests to the https version of the site when I should have been using the http version. Now that SSL is set up I can swap it back
@jackcarlisle thanks for sharing the solution. 🎉
if this is no longer an issue for you, please close. 👍
Hope your summer is going well. ☀️
