AutoSSL forbids DCV HTTP redirection (subdomain)

[antoniojeldres]

Hi,

Autossl was working fine until it expired, now I get error:
ERROR “cPanel (powered by Comodo)” forbids DCV HTTP redirections.

Main domain is in another IP that uses cloudflare for DNS only:
The domain “mydomain” resolved to an IP address “198.XXX.XX.XX” that does not exist on this server.

Thanks,

You can't use AutoSSL to setup SSL on domains that points to an external IP. Use CloudFlares SSL instead: Simple Secure Socket Layer (SSL)/TLS Encryption | Cloudflare

As mentioned by @DennisMidjord if the domain points to an IP that does not exist on the server the domain will not be able to receive an AutoSSL certificate

Thanks!

I properly parked the my domain on user 'x', then initiated the AutoSSL script (using WHM) for user 'x', Looks like, from the logs, the cert is being re-issued from cPanel Inc., but the domain remains un-padlocked in the list of SSL certs. Can you help me figure out what's going wrong?

Relevant snippet from the AutoSSL

ERROR TLS Status: Defective
ERROR Defect: NO_SSL: No SSL certificate is installed.
Local HTTP DCV OK:
ERROR “cPanel (powered by Comodo)” forbids DCV HTTP redirections.

Domain DNS records points to exact IP.

Do you have redirections in place in the .htaccess file?
