@tkhara

The domain phpmysqlcms.tk is not defined you need to associate an IP address with the domain name so you can create a HTTPS certificate for it.

www.phpmysqlcms.tk resolves OK but not phpmysqlcms.tk so make sure an A record or CNAME exists for phpmysqlcms.tk.

$ dig www.phpmysqlcms.tk +short
159.65.146.159

$ dig phpmysqlcms.tk

Hence the error: “The server could not resolve a domain name”
