Simple static file server - Https not working - http works

Help

1. The problem I’m having:

caddy with my caddyfile without ip address produces a working site publicly, but when i add the public ip for my subdomain to the caddyfile i get this from chrome:

This site can’t provide a secure connection

71.184.243.47 sent an invalid response.

  • [Try running Windows Network Diagnostics](javascript:diagnoseErrors()).
    ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

doesn’t matter if i use the ip or the subdomain

2. Error messages and/or full log output:

C:\Windows\System32>curl -v https://web.axiomcrs.com:2345
*   Trying 71.184.243.47:2345...

4. How I installed and ran Caddy:

installed as a service with sc.exe

a. System environment:

Windows Server 2019

b. Command:

using caddy as a service
stop the service
modify caddyfile
caddy.exe adapt
restart the service

c. Service/unit/compose file:

n/a

d. My complete Caddy config:

{
	debug
}

71.184.243.47:2345 {
	root c:\caddy\files
	file_server {
		browse
	}
}

This is a mismatch. Caddy isn’t configured to match a domain name, and it doesn’t have a certificate for that domain, so TLS handshakes cannot succeed.

Thanks for your reply. :grinning:
Worked with the subdomain and not with the ip in the caddyfile and the curl.
