I have problems to route a subdomain through CF Proxy. It is simply not accessible after that. On the subdomain is phpmyadmin installed. No matter how I do it, whether a. “A” entry or “CNAME”, with both the application is no longer accessible as soon as I set proxy to “On” (Orange Cloud). The main domain works fine.
I have already asked in another topic for the “best” option for subdomain. There I was told that if I proxy a CNAME via Cloudflare no CNAME will be published. In its place, an A and AAAA record will be published pointing to Cloudflare. I would therefore prefer CNAME so that the “real” server IP would not be exposed. But unfortunately it doesn’t work for me (see above).
thanks, the phpmyadmin is installed on the subdomain via hosters “panel” (LiveConfig) for my VPS where you can install it and some others as “App”.
I have another subdomain (with wordpress installed) what is via CNAME and orange proxy =on and all woks well. So may bee it is because of some reason with these installable apps from my provider/hoster?
Are you attempting to access the application via https://subdomain.example.com/phpmyadmin?
Does this method work when that hostname is set to DNS Only?
What happens when you try to load phpmyadmin with the name proxied?
YES “grey” (no proxy) works, I can call phpmyadmin but after set to “on” (orange cloud) and with some delay (till settings get active) I get following error message in browser:
Error: Redirection error
An error occurred while connecting to phpmyadmin.domain.com
** This problem can sometimes occur when cookies are disabled or refused.**
Relaods, even Strg+F5 or other use browsers do not work also. Only to “grey” it again brings it back to life. When I use Opera I get more detailed info:
This page does not work phpmyadmin.domain.com has redirected you too many times.
Yes! It always works with DNS only, https and http (as it is redirected http to https “forced”). It is 2 SSL Certificates existing: One for domain and one for subdomain. Both from Let’s encrypth (via the hoster panel). Can this bee the reason? Because just seen that the other subdomain with WP installation has only one for domain and subdomain (it is via Cloudflare, Keys generated and set into hoster panel).
no CNAME will be published. In its place, an A and AAAA record will be published pointing to Cloudflare. I would therefore prefer CNAME so that the “real” server IP would not be exposed. But unfortunately it doesn’t work for me (see above).
DNS Only?
