Certificate not issuing

Cause: DNS not pointing correctly

Solutions:

  1. Verify DNS A record points to server IP
  2. Wait for DNS propagation (up to 48 hours)
  3. Check with: dig your-domain.com
  4. Ensure port 80 is accessible

Certificate expired

Cause: Auto-renewal failed

Solutions:

  1. Check Traefik logs for errors
  2. Manually trigger renewal
  3. Verify domain still points to server
  4. Check disk space for certificate storage

Mixed content warnings

Cause: HTTP resources on HTTPS page

Solutions:

  1. Update all URLs to use HTTPS
  2. Use protocol-relative URLs (//)
  3. Check embedded content and scripts
  4. Review browser console for specific URLs
