Cloudflare and AutoSSL makes site inaccessible

Dosyhost · Feb 24, 2022

Im tired of the autossl errors on cpanel , it simply not working with cloudflare.
I set full strict ssl on cloudflare and the site works then after some hours it goes down with SSL error.

the most errors are starting with:
DNS DCV: No local authority:....
on autossl
I try to validate a certificate on ssl options from cpanel but no luck for domain. But subdomain works.

Hey there! Are you referring to DCV errors as outlined here?

support.cpanel.net

If so, can you try disabling the "Always Use HTTPS" option on the Cloudflare side to see if that gets the certificate issued?

no thats not helping.

and the cpanel cant validate the cloudflare's free ssl too.

I think cpanel should fix their conflict with cloudflare as soon as possible.
This is a serious problem.
When the cpanel's certificates are expire the problems arise and we cant even get a new certificate from cpanel and also cannot from cloudflare.

There are many cPanel users that use Cloudflare without an issue, so it might be best if you submitted a ticket to our support team so we could check the issue directly on the affected system.

I use shared hosting with cpanel, i think i cannot submit a ticket to the cpanel.

Ah, if it's a shared account then we wouldn't be able to check things on our end. You'd have to work with your host, but they could always contact us if there is something they can't solve on their side.

I've set up sites with AutoSSL + CloudFlare before and they work without any issues, the problem you're having is probably related to your host's settings or CloudFlare's settings.
