522 Error - Cloudflare says talk to GoDaddy, GoDaddy says talk to Cloudfalre

What is the name of the domain?

mpac.org

What is the error number?

522

What is the issue you’re encountering

Site is down

Before moving to Cloudflare, was your Website working over HTTPS connection?

Does your Website work fine over HTTPS when you temporary Pause Cloudflare? :thinking:

Steps for troubleshooting:

  1. Use the “Pause Cloudflare on Site” option from the Overview tab for your domain at dash.cloudflare.com .
  2. The link is in the lower right corner of that page.
  3. Give it five minutes to take effect, then make sure site is working as expected with HTTPS without any error

In case if it’s available only over HTTP, reach out to GoDaddy and ask if you’ve got web hosting which is covered with an valid SSL certificate for your domain. If not, then they’d offer you higer grade hosting package which costs.
If that happens, I’d suggest moving to some other web hosting provider.
Unfortunately, there are topics around here where GoDaddy didn’t included the SSL certificate and they charged for it to either have it or add your own (custom) from Cloudflare.

Nevertheless, further steps for troubleshooting would go from this step as follows:

  1. Check with your hosting provider / Plesk panel / cPanel AutoSSL / Let’s Encrypt / ACME / Certbot and manually click to renew it
  2. Only then, when your website responds over HTTPS, you should un-pause Cloudflare and double-check your SSL/TLS setting to make sure it’s set to Full (Strict).
