Thanks for point these situations out Ken! The reason I joined the
GnuCash-User mailing lists was because I sent a link to an
acquaintance
that does bookkeeping professionally and he texted back that the
website
was down, he then did a Google search and tried the GnuCash result on
his own and that link didn't work either, and he then goes on to tell
me
that this is why he doesn't trust open source projects with his
business
or his clients' business. It was pretty embarrassing for me and I
have
hesitated to refer any possibly interested professionals that I meet
to
GnuCash since.
I can confirm the certificate error for website #1. It looks like
gnucash.org uses Let's Encrypt (https://letsencrypt.org/) as the
certificate authority and the certificate was valid from December 12,
2022 until March 11, 2023. My understanding was that Let's Encrypt
was
free, so that might mean that it just has to be
renewed/reauthorized...?
Let's Encrypt uses a program "certbot" which is supposed to
automagically
renew the certificate. It does try to verify the domain it is for by
visiting
the website. Since there was a webserver config problem (the redirect
config
was broken), it is likely that the automagical renewal failed...
I can confirm that website #2 still lists the "Apache2 Ubuntu Default
Page" error for the non-https/secure gnucash website. I believe that
John mentioned that Linas upgraded his server in January and that
broke
this feature and it has not been fixed since.
Yes, this webserver config error needs to be fixed. Once it is fixed,
the
Let's Encrypt certbot program will be able to renew the certificate,
which
will fix thehttps://www.gnucash.org error.
I also see Gnucash website #3 as working well. I can see that that
website also uses Let's Encrypt as the certificate authority and that
certificate is valid from March 5, 2023 until June 3, 2023.
I also noticed that website #1 & #2 has 2 "Subject Alt Names"
(gnucash.org &www.gnucash.org)<http://www.gnucash.org)> on that certificate,
while website #3
has just 1 (code.gnucash.org).
Yes, this is a "normal" thing. Almost allwww.xxx.yyy<http://www.xxx.yyy>
hostnames refer
to the
same logical host as xxx.yyy -- eg while commonly normal websites start
with
www, most also work without the 'www.'.
After briefly reading a few of the mailing list messages on US
banks/credit unions that are not allowing their transaction to be
downloaded/available in an open format, I have also wanted to start
emailing various financial institutions about whether they intend to
make such a format available. I would still need to further review
the
formatting situation described in the email chains before I start
asking
around and then opening an account at such a financial institution,
but
if the main GnuCash website still doesn't work, it is hard to write
such
emails at all.

So checking websites statuses today:
https://www.gnucash.org - privacy/certificate error
http://www.gnucash.org - Default appache2 page
https://code.gnucash.org/website - working perfectly.
As noted - this has been an issue since 11 February. The https://
was working at one point a couple of weeks ago -- but now it is not.

As most everyone already knowswww.gnucash.org has been offline
since 11 February because Linas Vepstas lost internet access and his
ISP, Grande Networks in Austin, TX, has not fixed it.
To provide replacement service until Linas gets back online we've
set up an alternate site,https://code.gnucash.org/website/.
