Moving an Wordpress SSL site to a dev server. Deleted the certificate. Change the domain name through mysql. Getting this error.
What else would I need to do to fix this? Something on my end through apache? Done this countless times with other non-ssl sites...I am missing something I know it...
Thanks guys. Appreciate your help.
This is a common Drupal error -- see https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/145286/what-does-the-provided-host-name-is-not-valid-for-this-server-mean .
I suspect that your web server is redirecting the request to a directory where a Drupal site is installed. Check your DNS A records and Apache configuration files (at /etc/apache2/sites-available on Ubuntu 18.04). Good luck!
Checklist While moving a WordPress installation from one server to another (different URL)
Update siteurl and home field in Database Table 'wp_options' with http version of the url.
Check .htaccess file and remove ssl redirect.
Check if any plugin is used to replace non-https url with https url. Then disable this plugin.
I just experienced this exact issue with a WordPress site and want to add a third solution on top of what #tgeller and #Bikram Pahi said.
Check that you have a self-signed certificate installed on your webserver or a purchased certificate. I solved this issue by installing a self-signed certificate and when re-opening the WordPress website, the error was no longer present.
Also, in my case, I enabled HTTPS in the site's URL settings.

I just migrated the my website from my old domain to new domain. Its migrated but when I am clicking on something like pages or category its redirecting me to the old site with this error:
The site can't provide a secure connection. shopskart.in sent an invalid response. ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR
Screenshot of error message
I also did these changes in wp-conf and wp-options but still I am getting same issue. Someone said its because its forcing site to https due to SSL I had but now I don't have SSL and don't want one right now.
You probably copied the old SSL file to your new site, and it's still active. You should disable it. Also check if there's any setting (in backend or database) pointing to https in stead of http, since you won't be using a secure connection anymore (Why not? You should!). Check the htaccess file as well! If the problem still occurs try clearing your browsercache.
From where i can find the ssl file. Or code. Actually the website was created by my developer and now he refused to give the data when i asked him. So i migraded using wp plugins and dont know where he pasted the ssl certificate.
I am converting my wordpress site to https from http.I am using aws machine(windows OS) and i got the free ssl certificate,but when i tried to access my site it shows "Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server." this error message.I am tried almost all the solution(Deleting htaccess file,plugins uninstall,changing httpd.conf etc) but none of them worked.Any one help me i really need this one.
Can you try to test it by removing htaccess file?
Also from your database phpmyadmin go to wp_options table and from there verify that you have https urls.
Also if it does not works then tru to rename plugins folder and then test it.
Also add Really Simple SSL plugin and test your site.
I am getting a Cloudflare error 525 in my Wordpress.
I'm working on a subdomain where the domain has https that work fine through cloudflare but the subdomain does not.
Hosting: Godaddy
The SSL certificate is UCC bought from Godaddy.
Crypto SSL in Cloudflare: FULL
I made all the changes in Wordpress mainly following these steps: force https pages wordpress
And all URLs are changed from http:// to https://.
Can anyone help me, I'm running out of ideas and I do not know what else I should do?
That error indicates that the ssl handshake is failing on the subdomain. The subdomain might be configured differently at a web-server level, or there may be Page Rules that change the behavior
https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200278659-Error-525-SSL-handshake-failed
In case someone still get this error, here is how I fixed it.
This was driving me crazy because the site was working fine and then the error started to manifest intermittently: error page shows, then by refreshing a couple of times the site loaded but with some missing images. So it was a mess.
Tried to reach out for godaddy support but it was not very useful. They checked the files, database, open ports and even changed the propagating DNS, but still the error was persisting.
At the end I tried:
Disable my ssl plugin in wordpress (really simple SSL)
Go back to http setting
In cloudflare, set the SSL setting to flexible
I found out that Cloudflare takes over the writing of the https links, so the plugin was creating a redirect loop and that was causing the handshake to fail.
The admin side of my wordpress site is stuck in HTTPS and very slow as a result.
I am trying to set the admin to HTTP.
Here is my setup and what I've tried so far.
Godaddy VPS with Godaddy SSL certificate
In wp-config.php I have: define( 'FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', false );
Tried installing the wordpress-https plugin. The admin https checkbox is greyed out / disabled.
Here are the settings on that plugin.
Check httpd.conf and htaccess files for any rewrites - none found.
Server does have Vernish installed - asked Godaddy support to check for any relevant configs in Varnish. None found.
I have tried commenting out code in wp-includes/functions.php based on suggestion here (see comment by user joelbair).
I always flush caches, and sometimes reboot the VPS completely after making changes.
Any suggestions?
Could it be related to SSL signing certificates or how SSL was installed on the server initially?
Was the HTTPS server sending the Strict-Transport-Security header? If so, your browser received instructions to always use HTTPS version of the site. Try opening the HTTP version in another browser, or try clearing your browser cache in an attempt to remove that header's control.
Install WordPress Force HTTPS plugin.
Change you're WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) in General Setting to https://yoursite.domain
Clear browser cache
No configuration needed.
I've migrated my Wordpress blog to OpenShift recently. It works perfect until when you try to add a custom domain alias to your installation.
The OpenShift URL for my blog is blog-latifetunc.rhcloud.com
I added the following URL as alias: blog.latifetunc.com
(Sorry I couldn't attach images since I don't have enough reputation points. Instead I put links to images. This is my first question in StackOverflow.)
http://www.alpertunc.com/q1.png
I successfully added the CNAME record for my domain to point blog.latifetunc.com to blog-latifetunc.rhcloud.com in GoDaddy
http://www.alpertunc.com/q2.png
The problem pops up when I try to reach my blog with this alias. It says:
Safari can't verify the identity of the website "blog.latifetunc.com".
The certificate for this website is invalid. You might be connecting to a website that is pretending to be "blog.latifetunc.com", which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the website anyway?
(I can't even post more than two links without 10 reputation points :( So please put the above URL in front of below images as well.)

If you click "Continue" it works fine but this alert is very scary for many users. I searched for hours for a solution with no luck. I considered buying a security certificate as well but then I thought this blog was working with an alias in its previous installation too. However we never had such an alert in browser while visiting either via the main domain or the alias.
The previous installation was on IIS and the binding were as following:

Then when my brain was about to explode I found out that the alert is due to https. When I checked Settings from my Wordpress dashboard I realised that somehow OpenShift installs Wordpress on https and sets the permalinks to https.
q5.png
In fact whatever you type that points to *.rhcloud.com is converted to https. I know that because I added the CNAME for www.latifetunc.net to point to blog-latifetunc.rhcloud.com as well but didn't add the alias in OpenShift Applications. So www.latifetunc.net resolves to blog-latifetunc.rhcloud.com but since there is no alias defined (hence there is no vhost entry in Apache) it gives error. But even that error is in port 443!
q6.png
My main problem is to get rid of the certificate error while visiting my blog via my alias domain name. I really appreciate any help on that one.
My related question is that why on earth permalinks start with https on OpenShift Wordpress installation? If I can solve that, probably I'll solve my main problem as well.
Thanks a lot!
I checked blog.latifetunc.com on safari,chrome,firefox, and opera and I didn't get any warnings so you much have figured out a solution. However for others who may stumble across this I've provided some information:
By default OpenShift applications accept traffic on both http and https. So if you're wanting to have a custom domain but aren't worried about ssl than you can simply just use the http connection to your application (http://myapp.com). If you are wanting to apply a SSL certificate and you're on one of the plans that allow it (bronze or silver). The documentation to apply it, is in the SSL Section of the OpenShift Online User Guide.
