Having a problem that appears mildly similar to a couple of other posts here, but the solutions provided don’t work and the error message is probably different.
VitalPBX firewall is disabled, VPBX is running on a VPS.

If the FQDN actually resolves to the web server, that should mean it’s pointing to the correct IP right? I am not aware of any DNS issue.
No luck generating the lets encrypt cert after deleting the domain folder; starting again with a fresh install on my VPS.

I used certbot on the VPS command line to generate a cert and added it as a custom cert, so now the vitalpbx http page has a valid SSL cert but the WebRTC server isn’t accessible anymore for some reason, not even by the IP. Is this a known issue or something to do with my config?

Update:
Currently viewing the “mini http server” on the HTTP bind address and port times out for port 8089 and port 8088 returns: ERR\_SSL\_PROTOCOL\_ERROR
Link to view the status page described here: [Configuring VitalPBX For WebRTC Clients](https://vitalpbx.com/blog/configuring-vitalpbx-for-webrtc-clients/)
looks like: vitalpbx-address:8089/httpstatus
What might be a probable reason for this?
–edit–
my workaround of using certbot to generate the SSL cert appears to work now, also I installed VPBX 4.5.0-3 on the VPS first, same problem generating the let’s encrypt cert.
