SOLVED Cloudflare

[Henrik Riccius]

Yesterday I activated cloudflare. ( https://support.appdrag.com/doc/Use-CloudFlare-and-Activate-SSL )
Everything was working fine for 12 hours. Then the site went down. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS was shown in browser. (Some information is given here https://developers.cloudflare.com/ssl/troubleshooting/too-many-redirects/ )

Is some parts missing in the AppDrag-instruction? (info about SSL and info about DNSSEC)
info: SSL/TLS encryption -- Current encryption mode: Flexible
DNSSEC was deactivated at registrar 24 hours before activating Cloudflare.

I have tried to activate DNSSEC at cloudflare, with no success yet.

What could cause the error (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS) ??

Big thanks for thoughts and suggestions!

Hey @henrik-riccius, can you provide the url of the website?

[Henrik Riccius]

@joseph-benguira mobelfakta.se

[Henrik Riccius]

@joseph-benguira Any thoughts? Tried to activate many times. Still the same problem every time.

[Henrik Riccius]

@joseph-benguira Please look at this.

Is it possible to try without "Flexible" SSL, but "Full" ? What else could cause error ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS?

[Joseph Benguira]

@henrik-riccius check here:
https://www.mobelfakta.se/

for the access with www, you will have to disable domain redirection in appdrag dashboard > your project > Main Domain & SSL > Uncheck redirect to main domain

[Henrik Riccius]

@joseph-benguira it has been unchecked and is unchecked. Any other suggestions?

[Joseph Benguira]

@henrik-riccius can you provide a screenshot of your DNS configuration for the root domain in cloudflare?

@joseph-benguira

As I had to have the site working I deactivated Cloudflare for som days, when I got the error. Then I activated it again, 4 days ago, and it has been woring since.
Questions:

1. Is it possible to go without your suggestion "Flexible" SSL, but "Full"?
2. Could my initial problem (ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS) have been caused by a slow activation of DNSSEC? (I activated it on Cloudflare, but my DS record at my registrar was not entered directly, but after many hours.) Today I try again, and creates the DS record at the registrar directly, and it works fine. ”Success! mobelfakta.se is protected with DNSSEC.”
3. I make few changes in the settings per hour to be able to pinpoint what cause the error ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS, if it will happen again. One thing I will do is to remove the DS records, as Cloudflare says they are not used at all.

Actually, I can not figure out why I got the error.

[Joseph Benguira]

@henrik-riccius you have to delete those 2 records

and instead you should create a CNAME for your root domain pointing to same value you have for www (the cloudfront target)

@joseph-benguira said in Cloudflare:

u should create a CNAME

Ok.
Now adjusted. Thanks!!

[Joseph Benguira]

@henrik-riccius ensure you are in flexible SSL mode

[Henrik Riccius]

@joseph-benguira said in Cloudflare:

you are in flexible SS

Hi! Why is that? I had the problem when using Flexible. I switched to Full, and have not had any problems with that. Can I keep Full? Why/Why not? Regards Henrik

@henrik-riccius if it's working no need to change anything
