Hi everyone, I’m asking for a lot of help. I can’t get my website to run on cloudflare.
The operation I carry out is the following:
preload the DNS on cloudflare automatically.
I disable FTP because otherwise it wouldn’t work for me
I change the nameserver from my current registrar by entering the cloudflare ones
I wait for cloudflare to activate DNS
once done my website cannot be seen
error unable to find server
I would like to point out that on the origin server I left HTTPS redirect active, while on cloudflare I set flexible.
my website is www.domainname.com
www DNS is set with proxy
Hi everyone, please can you help me configure the DNS, I don’t know if I was right in disabling the proxies in this way but the wen site doesn’t work.
I’ll give you some premises:
I set up flexible HTTPS in cloudflare.
On my origin server I enable Redirect HTTPS
I deleted the www record
That is the cause of your redirect loop. Flexible connects to the origin server using HTTP, which you have to configured to redirect to HTTPS. That causes your visitor to connect to Cloudflare using HTTPS and Cloudflare connects to your origin using HTTP because you told it to use the insecure Flexible mode. This process repeats until it eventually gives up after too many redirects.
Switch Flexible to Full (strict) and do not use any of the other insecure settings.
Your origin redirects from the apex to www and you have not created any record for www. You need to add the appropriate record for www. If it is on the same server as the apex name, and the server knows to respond to www, you could use a CNAME that points to the naked domain.
The IP in an A record is fine. It doesn’t need to be a CNAME, although it should work with one as long as the alias and the canonical name use the same IP.
Your site loads for me. You may have cached permanent redirects. Try in an incognito browser session. If it works when you are incognito, you will need to tell your regular browser session to forget the site.
Thanks Epic for your reply, I tried but nothing. I also tried to change the device but I can’t see anything. I think I’m doing something wrong in the DNS. I have this doubt. I would really like to provide you with my credentials to verify, unfortunately I don’t know how to send them to you
