Subdomain error over https: ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID

Hi
I’m not that tech savvy, especially when it comes to Cloudflare, so would really appreciate any tips from the community. I’ve raised a ticket, but since I’m on the free account it looks like I got an automated response with links to support articles - none of which seem to shed any light over what I might be doing wrong.

So here’s where I’m at.
I set up Cloudflare for alley-catz.com, which now works over https fine.
BUT, more importantly, I really want SSL to work over the subdomain booking.alley-catz.com. I’ve added an A record for this subdomain, set it to proxied, and it works fine over http, but over https I’m getting ERR_CERT_COMMON_NAME_INVALID.

After reading a few other topics, I’ve also tried:

  • Setting www to DNS only (didn’t do the trick)
  • Turning crypto off and on again (to reset it)…again, no change.
  • Set SSL to Full, which didn’t fix the problem either - so it’s back on flexible for now.

Can anyone give any tips to where I might be going wrong?

Is there a way I can change the certificate to “booking” rather than the “*” wildcard?

Thanks in advance

Luke

I am able to load your site just fine with https.

You would want the wildcard rather than the just for booking.

Well that’s a facepalm moment then.

Just tried on my phone over 4g…loads fine. Must be cached with the error on our network.

Sorry to waste your time!
