We're trying to use SSL on our website. The website is on a ubuntu server 2016. I've generated certicates from let's encrypt and followed the ubuntu tutorial but at the end i'm getting ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

<VirtualHost *:443>

    ServerName dp7.sitename.eu
    ServerAlias www.dp7.sitename.eu

    #SSLEngine on
    #SSLCertificateFile      /etc/letsencrypt/live/sitename.fr/cert.pem
    #SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/letsencrypt/live/sitename.fr/fullchain.pem
    #SSLCertificateKeyFile  /etc/letsencrypt/live/sitename.fr/privkey.pem
        DocumentRoot /var/www/bt750
        <Directory "/var/www/bt750">
            Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
            AllowOverride all
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all
        Require all granted
        </Directory>
    ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/dp7_ssl_error.log

Answer 1

You have some errors in apache configuration. You need Listen the 443 port and uncomment SLL configuration

Listen 443
