website down after installing ssl certificate through certbot in nginx
Below is my nginx configuration. I modified the 'default' file (which is placed at 'sites-available). I am able to access the website when it's through 'http'. But when I try through 'https', there is a connection time out and the page cannot be reached. Nginx is strangely not making any entries to the logs(both access.log and error.log). I am seeking for help since I am completely new to this.

443 port opened in aws ec2
After two days of never ending debegging, I understood the problem. I had not opened 443 port in EC2 security group. Things to keep in mind whomever struggling with a similar issue -> Ensure that your OS firewall allows connections through 443 also ensure that your instance allows connections through 443.
