I don’t know if this helps anyone, but I too am stuck on 0%.
My server at the moment is in a strange state because it is being moved from one host to another. For a while, I have https://www.myhost_name.com working on the new server, but https://myhost_name.com is still pointing to the old server and is inaccessible.
Daniel, when you say ‘make sure that the server can contact itself over http’ is it that it is using myhost_name.com and not the www version.
Could it be that others here have not mapped the myhost_name.com version to their site? I know that its common for people to block this so that search engines are not confused.
If this is the case then perhaps there should be a setting to specify the preferred url for the server?
For my own case, I will find out soon because the DNS changes will take full effect in 24 hours and the server will be contactable with and without the www.
