How to add SSL cloudflare in a drop

Posted on October 31, 2020

I am trying to activate SSL by cloudflare. Which I have activated the flexible option but it gives me many redirects and does not open the web, I activate it completely and it gave me error 521. After trying to install the certificate that cloudflare allows me to create, it gives me error 525.

  • Already enable cloudflare IPs on the firewall
  • Add the certificate to apache
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /home/steven/laiprofitness.com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /home/steven/ssl-priv-laiprofitness.key
