I installed WordPress in Google Cloud Plattform using the feature "Click to Deploy".
But I need my website work with HTTPS. So I get a certificate with Let's encrypt and I followed the instructions in https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/standard/python/console/using-custom-domains-and-ssl to install it. All the process was successful but when I try to use my site with HTTPS I get the error "the site refused the connection".
This page https://cloud.google.com/solutions/connecting-securely says an option is use load balancing, but I believe I don't need that.
I applied this others instructions unsuccessfully:

www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/how-to-install-wordpress-on-google-cloud-and-why-thats-awesome
stackoverflow.com/questions/30075971/google-cloud-platform-cannot-get-https-ssl-working-on-wordpress-instance
My site works fine with HTTP.
I resolved my problem with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kLvD2mlmlk
The difference is I had to upload my crt and key files generated by Let's encrypt.
It was very difficult for me because I am not familiar with linux.

We suddenly started seeing this "Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel" error.
Our website does a simple POST to another server to a HTTPS URL
This suddenly stopped working
Nothing has changed (Windows Updates, our updates, server settings) to cause suspicion. That we know of, or can remember.
We can navigate to the posted URL just fine.
We have other websites that also do this same POST to that same server and they continue to work. Everything is using TLS 1.0 and the target server has not changed anything recently. Nobody has turned off TLS 1.0 on either side.
This issue is discussed in many other stackoverflow postings, so to research systematically we made a clone of the website on the same server. Just copied its code (compiled code folders) and set up another virtual host in the same IIS.
The POST operation from the clone works! Same server, same code, same IIS. So we can't even reproduce it on the exact same setup. The copy is working but the original is throwing this error.
So finally the question:
Does the fact that the copied website can POST successfully give anybody any insight into what may have happened?
Could some IIS settings on the original site been changed? The only thing different is they are two virtual hosts on the same server.
Windows Server 2012R2, IIS 8.5, ASP.NET/C#.
I found the solution here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/9dfb4d09-8096-40c9-ac75-1e23f75417c9/frequent-event-id-36888-windows-schannel-errors-in-the-event-viewer?forum=W8ITProPreRel
The causes can be many, apparently, even Windows updates. Still seems odd that it would happen (consistently) on one website and not on its clone (also consistently).
The specific steps to fix were:
In Group Policy Editor (run: gpedit.msc), went to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Distributed COM > Application Compatibility and enabled "allow local activation security check exemptions"
I have been learning the Laravel framework and I used Laragon to get started. Laragon sets up my web server and my Hosts file so that I can access my work through the browser. Normally, I would boot up the server using the fancy "Start" button in Laragon and then go to the browser and type in "myFirstApp.dev" and my site would show up. Now I am getting an error in the browser that says "This site cannot be reached" (as shown in image1.jpg). How can I fix/diagnose the issue? Has anyone else ran in to this issue?
.
Found the answer to my own question. If anyone runs in to this same issue, here is an explanation. Google released Chrome v63 which forces all .dev domains to https. To fix this either enable SSL in Laragon or chance the domain extension your projects (.test for example). This will require changing your hosts and {Laragon Root}\etc\nginx\sites-enabled files.

Last week I was able to build and run a locally-hosted .NET website without any problems. However, for the past couple of days I haven't been able to get around this error:
ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID
This error message appears in both Chrome and Firefox. Edge and IE will load the page but block all AJAX requests without explanation.
The website is configured as an application in IIS and uses a self-signed certificate (created in IIS).
I encounter the same problem with running a completely separate .NET website so I doubt it has anything to do with each website's individual configurations.
My colleagues are able to browse their locally-hosted versions of the same website using a self-signed certificate in the same browser versions as I have installed.
Please, can someone tell me what might have happened to my setup, why are browsers no longer accepting my certificate, and how to get back to a running localhost website?
I'm a PHP developer and to be able to work on my development environment with a certificate, I was able to do the same by finding the real SSL HTTPS/HTTP Certificate and deleting it.
The steps are :
In the address bar, type "chrome://net-internals/#hsts".
Type the domain name in the text field below "Delete domain".
Click the "Delete" button.
Type the domain name in the text field below "Query domain".
Click the "Query" button.
Your response should be "Not found".
You can find more information at : http://classically.me/blogs/how-clear-hsts-settings-major-browsers
Although this solution is not the best, Chrome currently does not have any good solution for the moment. I have escalated this situation with their support team to help improve user/developer experience.
You should redo these steps every time you go on the server that contains the main HTTPS Certificate with HSTS clause.
I have a https-website which I wanted to try out with another hosting provider, which does not support ssl for its test accounts.
I have copied all my data and databases from my old web hosting server to the new hoster.
I have replaced all https references in my database and in wordpress.
I checked the html source code and no https call is done there.
Problem: My javascript does not work on the page, the dev console says it renders a 404 error because it "Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) - https://example.de/wp-content/themes/mytheme/js/script.js". Why does it make a https call there ?
1) How did you migrate your website? Sometimes there are options with serialized arrays you can not just search/replace for HTTPS as this may not replace anything. For migrating your WordPress website use the following tool to convert the database (its de-facto standard):
https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
This will most likely solve your problem and many others, too.
2) Furthermore do a search and replace on the code of your Theme (you said you have already done it)
3) External URLs may be called with HTTPS so make sure its not an external call
4) Check the server configuration of your new hosting provider - maybe the HTTPS is not the problem but there is something different in server configuration
In short, I can create a new MAMP Pro 3 host with success and then download and install Wordpress 4.0 via MAMP Pro's "Extra's" feature also seemingly with success (no errors, ) ...yet it doesn't turn out that way as the browser says, "Error code: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED".
Full Details: Hi, I've just installed MAMP Pro for the first time on Mac OS 10.9.5 with all the default settings, the WebStart page loaded in the browser, php looks to be running fine. The problem I'm having occurs when running a preliminary test of MAMP by trying the Extras feature and installing Wordpress 4.0. I get no indication that anything went wrong with the default install yet clicking the button next to the Server Name "Open the hosts web page in a browser"... I am greeted with an error in Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc....
"This webpage is not available. Google Chrome's connection attempt to was rejected. Error code: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
Google Chrome's connection attempt to testwpextra.dev was rejected. The website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured.
Check your Internet connection
Allow Chrome to access the network in your firewall or antivirus settings.
Check your proxy settings
"
I'm not using a proxy, I am running apache as my local user and have confirmed the document root is owned by the same user (with read/write permissions), I turned off firewall/littlesnitch just to be sure, same result in various browsers.
I read some fella saying something about setting up his host with IPv6 but I'm using the MAMP control panel to manage the process for me and don't see settings of that nature. Maybe this is done via the Extended tab with directory or VirtualHost parameters, I don't know... wish I did. Please help! Thanks!
I solved my problem by changing MAMPs ports from the default 8888 etc... to 80,443,3306 (on MAMPs General tab). Now all my includes are broken because MAMP doesn't allow "php_value" in htaccess files...one step at a time i guess. =]
