Invalid SSL certificate

What is the issue you’re encountering

Somehow my website seems down… It worked before though.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

• first i disabled all plugins as i thougth that could be the problem
• removed all cache
• then I added a new Advanced certificate in Cloudflare but whatever i try i cant get my website up and running asit used to be.

Please help!!

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Just visit www.tipica-gallega.com and you will see it wont work

This problem most likely happens because the certificate on your server has expired. You can’t fix it on Cloudflare, but must get a new certificate on your server.

If you pause Cloudflare, you should see the expired certificate:

Thanks for your reply Laudian I just orderd a new ‘advanced’ certificate 1 hour ago (in the website of Cloudflare). I can see its active also (green button)

This is completely unrelated to the problem. You can’t install the advanced certificate on your server.

Ok, i see… Meanwhile i paused my website as you said. When i go to www.tipica-gallega.com it keeps running but nothing happend. I guess that means the problem is not Cloudflare related as i paused it, is that right?

Still it gives me a 526 error hmm… I allready disabled all plugins

You can look at Cloudflare Origin Certificates to replace the certificate on your server:

Origin CA certificates | Cloudflare SSL/TLS docs

If you are unable to do that, you would need to contact your host to find out how to renew the certificate.

Client certificates are also unrelated to the problem. The problem is with your origin certificate, which (currently) has nothing to do with Cloudflare.

Ah ok, maybe thats why i dont get it. It all looks fine on the Cloudflare side i suppose.
I will check my host (Hostnet) and see if i can find something there…

You can post as many screenshots of your Cloudflare settings as you want, but you still need to fix the problem in your hosting provider’s menu, not in Cloudflare.

As mentioned above, you can use a Cloudflare Origin Certificate, but you need to install it directly on your web server.
