I’m very much a noob… I set up FreePBX 17 on a VPS running Debian 12. I’ve been accessing it via the IP Address. I decided to get a Lets Encrypt certificate, meaning I’d need to link my server to a domain. I purchased a domain, pointed the domain’s A record at the server IP, then I changed the server hostname to the domain name. Maybe this is where I went wrong? (technically, I changed the server host name BEFORE setting up DNS on my domain). Now I can’t access my server through either the domain or the IP address. I wonder if the issue is that I activated (registered) my server before changing the host name? I just get a forbidden error, or a site took too long to respond error.
Edit: I changed the hostname BACK in the command line, and that wasn’t the issue, because it’s still not loading.
