Question

WWW Website redirects to NOT Secure IP (while HTTPS works correctly)

Posted March 18, 2020 94 views
ApacheLet's Encrypt

I’ve installed Wordpress on Ubuntu Droplet, migrate my website and then add the Let’s Encrypt cert. If you browse the website using HTTPS everything works but when you access the website with www it redirects to the IP with a Warning of NOT Secure Website.

If then you click on Continue to the website it goes to the secure HTTPS.

I’ve installed Really Simple SSL plugin on Wordpress but still the same issue.

Any idea how to fix this?

Hi @liukrossini,

This sounds being an issue with your Apache Vhost file. You’ll need to review it and make sure everything is actually configured properly.

If you are uncertain how to proceed in checking your Vhost file, I’ll recommend going over the following two tutorials :

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-18-04-quickstart

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-apache-virtual-hosts-on-ubuntu-18-04

They should guide you through the process of creating a virtual host and you would be able to see the differences with yours. If you however still experience issues afterwards, you can post your vhost files here.

Hey!

So I’ve followed the step by step guide for the Vhost but I still get the same error.

I managed to add the correct vhost configuration, then I tried to reinstall the SSL certificate but when I tried to redirect all the traffic to HTTPS I got an error

Even when I tried to do the Auto-Renewal test I got another error.

I really don’t understand the issue here.. any help??
