I have a domain on namecheap. I pointed the servers to DO. All is well for mysite.com I made a CNAME for www to @ so that www.mysite.com goes to site.com Now when I go to www.mysite.com, I get SSL_ERROR_NO_CYPHER_OVERLAP But I do not get this for mysite.com
How can I address this.
Thanks :}

Hey,
That error usually points to the SSL certificate not matching the www
subdomain. From your description it sounds like mysite.com
is covered but www.mysite.com
is not, even though you pointed www
to @
with a CNAME.
Can you confirm how you’re serving the site? Are you running Nginx on a Droplet with Certbot handling the certificates, or are you using App Platform / a Load Balancer?
If it’s Nginx + Certbot, make sure that:
Your certificate request includes both mysite.com
and www.mysite.com
(for example with certbot --nginx -d mysite.com -d www.mysite.com
).
Your Nginx server block has server_name mysite.com www.mysite.com;
so both domains are covered.
If you’re on App Platform or a DO Load Balancer, you’d just need to add www.mysite.com
as a custom domain so Let’s Encrypt can provision a cert for it.
Heya, @voliware
The www version of the domain name is not covered from the SSL Certificate. You can issue another SSL that covers both www and non www
