SSL Private Key

Hosting Support
1

Hello,

I just noticed that I had installed a private key on my server while it’s completely unneccesary, because all of the SSL stuff is being handled by CloudFlare. I can’t seem to remove/uninstall it though. Whenever I clear the textbox, and hit upload, I get an error message saying that it can’t be empty.

Any help?

EDIT: This also leads to my website giving a 404 error. You can check it for yourself here: https://www.webdesyners.gq/

The Private Key does not mattter. As long as you have CloudFlare and have not selected the Full Strict Option on SSL Section it will be ignored.

Also, I don’t think this is the reason you get a 404. Are you sure that there is an index.html/index.php file in your htdocs folder?

Yes, there is an index.html file in the htdocs folder. I check that already. Also, on my other website I have been using the Full Strict option on CloudFlare, but I have not set the Private Key. It works fine there.

I have tested it with other options, and right now I am using Full on https://www.webdesyners.gq/

Also, the SSL isn’t working either anyways. (If you look it up in Chrome it doesn’t have a closed padlock.)

Full is correct. Please do what badbot said and disable HTTP to HTTPS redirect.

Ok, now it doesn’t auto-redirect. It still shows that page though…

I had also downloaded the index.html to see if there was a fault in the code, but there is none…

Maybe this is the problem?

Also, I have changed the nameservers to what you said to check if it has any effect @badbot

EDIT: And I have uploaded a custom index.html to be sure that there are no fault in it.

Ok, this seems to work. Should I change it back to cloudflare now?

How @badbot ?

Ok, well I just reconnected with CloudFlare and it doesn’t give me the error anymore. The IP Adress was right already, so that wasn’t an issue. I’ll wait for a few hours to check if SSL starts working. Thanks for the help!

Ok, just checked. SSL is working fine now, and so is the website! :smiley:
