That's something of your server showing the default nginx page

When i am adding the certificate privkey numbers do i add the -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- and ending or do I have to removethem

Cyb3r-Jak3•4mo ago

You don't add the entire private key to the config. You write a file, keeping the -----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----, and in the config you put the path to that config

I did but it looks like a php error https://srcb.in/o7vShMKc29 this is the file

Cyb3r-Jak3•4mo ago

Weird looks right to me. Something like stackoverflow will be able to help better with nginx issueus
