Can connect to website with ip but not with domain

Website, Application, Performance DNS & Network
1

I am hosting a website from my home. I am using apache2 and setup a virtual host for my domain. But when I use my domain in my browser it gives (522) error. When I use my home ip it does work.

/etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts

::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
www.skywars.fun skywars.fun

/etc/apache2/sites-available/skywars.fun.conf:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName skywars.fun
ServerAlias www.skywars.fun
DocumentRoot /var/www/skywars
ErrorLog {APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog {APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined

What is going on here?

I have tried messing around with the hosts file without success.

Some other post said it has to do with cloudflare proxying.

Set those hostnames to :grey: until you get that site properly configured with HTTPS, then should will work fine when you set it back to :orange:.

I dont want to setup https since I will be making a one-pager with just information. Is that possible?

5

Possible, but unwise.

I have been spending an hour trying different tutorials. They all suck hard!!!
Could you link me to a tutorial on how to setup SSL using cloudflare that actually works with ubuntu?

7

You need to set up SSL on Ubuntu before you can finish the SSL process at Cloudflare. Digital Ocean has good tutorials for this:

I sortof got it working but the website shows weird behaviour on Opera browser.
if I click on “about” in the navbar it goes to “https://www.skywars.funabout”
but the “tips” button does work. It works properly on other browsers though.

This issue is caused by certbots http to https redirect but I am not sure how to fix this

Using Cloudflare’s “Always Use HTTPS” setting in Edge Certificates frequently interferes with Certbots, as it won’t let HTTP connections through.

I have that disabled in edge certificates.

I tried enabling it and removing the Rewrite Options in my web configuration but the issue persists

Certbot also has a Cloudflare plugin:
https://certbot-dns-cloudflare.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

Or just use a Cloudflare Origin Certificate:
https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000479507-Managing-Cloudflare-Origin-CA-certificates

I tried using the Cloudflare origin ca certificates but I don’t know how to acquire the SSLCertificateChainFile

and is the PEM certificate the .crt?

update:
I tried installing Cloudflare certificates and now my site is getting 525

update 2:
After following How to Use Cloudflare Origin Certificates with Apache on Ubuntu Linux - Geek Rewind
I got it working
