Hi my website is not working (404 error) after installation. I think it is something related to nginx. ghost doctor: ✔ Checking system Node.js version - found v20.18.1 ✔ Checking logged in user ✔ Ensuring user is not logged in as ghost user ✔ Checking if logged in user is directory owner ✔ Checking current folder permissions ✔ Checking system compatibility ✔ Checking for a MySQL installation - sudo systemctl is-active ghost\_www-elektrojazdenie-sk Instance is currently running ℹ Validating config [skipped] ✔ Checking folder permissions ✔ Checking file permissions ✔ Checking content folder ownership ✔ Checking memory availability ✔ Checking binary dependencies ✔ Checking free space ✔ Checking systemd unit file ✔ Checking systemd node version - found v20.18.1 Ghost setup ssl: - sudo /etc/letsencrypt/acme.sh --upgrade --home /etc/letsencrypt - sudo /etc/letsencrypt/acme.sh --issue --home /etc/letsencrypt --server letsencrypt --domain www.elektrojazdenie.sk --webroot /var/www/elektrojazdenie/system/nginx-root --reloadcmd “nginx -s reload” --accountemail info@elektrojazdenie.sk --keylength 2048 ✖ Setting up SSL One or more errors occurred. 1.

Try install SSL-Certificate manually: > **[How to issue a cert](https://github.com/acmesh-official/acme.sh/wiki/How-to-issue-a-cert)** > > A pure Unix shell script implementing ACME client protocol - acmesh-official/acme.sh ```auto acme.sh --issue -d www.elektrojazdenie.sk --nginx ``` Or use [Certbot](https://certbot.eff.org/) ---

Thanks, but is it not working. BUT, I already found solution as I found that all Oracle images have IPTABLES enabled with some rules already in place. I allowed port 80 in iptables and it is working.
