Server - works setting up SSL hosting

« on: December 27, 2018, 17:17:25 »

A note that the server had been a bit bouncy (up and down) over the last few hours and there may be some more of that to come - playing about with SSL^▸ certificates which I never find simple ... often feel that one of the qualifications you need to set up and install the darned things is a rugged determination ...

I think it was a co-incidence; I was worried having rebuild the program that serves the site (the Apache web server) to include SSL^▸ modules. I am, however, aware that if you now try and access the Coffee Shop through https - which previously was not available - you're now likely to get a warning from your browser in very concerning words (which actually needn't be concerning in this case).
