Same problem, ¡help!

Just search DNS DCV on google same search.

This is because your AutoSSL is attempting to use local DNS for verification. Since you’re using Cloudflare DNS, that AutoSSL method doesn’t work.

As for the failed GET command, without knowing the actual URL, we can’t test this to see why that request is failing. That acme-challenge file is probably there, but the response is not as expected.

Found this!!

Auto SSL problem

As I have previously mentioned, the easiest method would be to generate a Cloudflare Origin CA certificate. If you’re willing to do so, here’s an instruction, replacing example.com with your domain: [originca] Then, you’ll get something like this: [image] Afterwards, open cPanel at a new tab and click SSL/TLS and then Manage SSL Sites. Then change the Domain to your domain, copy and paste the Origin Certificate to Certificate, the Private Key to Private Key and fill the Certificate Authori…

I generated the Key and Cert. But when I go to the Cpanel account of the domain I’m lost
I have no I idea what to do there is other certs attached do I delete those?
Another instruction said to download the Cloudflare Origin CA first.
Does that replace the servers root cert?
My head hurts.
If anyone can please give me instructions after creating the key and cert and the Cloudflare Origin CA
that would be great I have cpanel.
thanks
