Cloudflare Domains SSL Cloudflare & Centminmod

Please fill in any relevant information that applies to you:

• CentOS Version: CentOS 7 64bit
• Centmin Mod Version Installed: 123.09beta01
• Nginx Version Installed: 1.11.9
• PHP Version Installed: 7.0.15
• MariaDB MySQL Version Installed: 10.1.21
• When was last time updated Centmin Mod code base ? : Today

Installing centminmod and allowed cloudflare's IPs through CSF :
/usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/csfcf.sh auto (set up as a cronjob as well)

Able to hit it via port 80, but not 443, when I set up my domain I did select no to letsencrypt & selfcert... is that where i possibly messed up?

Just did all of the above, did a csf -r and init 6... still the same :/

I selected not to create an SSL due to using CloudFlare's Flex... should i have opted to create my own? Or letsencrypt?

 

since it wasnt generated :

Code:

[07:18][root@web01 log]# cat /usr/local/nginx/conf/autoprotect/insertblank.com/autoprotect-insertblank.com.conf
[07:18][root@web01 log]# /usr/local/src/centminmod/tools/autoprotect.sh
generated nginx include file [same]: /usr/local/nginx/conf/autoprotect/demodomain.com/autoprotect-demodomain.com.conf
generated nginx include file [same]: /usr/local/nginx/conf/autoprotect/insertblank.com/autoprotect-insertblank.com.conf

autoprotect.sh run completed skipped nginx restart...

[07:19][root@web01 log]# cat /usr/local/nginx/conf/autoprotect/insertblank.com/autoprotect-insertblank.com.conf

still empty...

 

Alright ill give it some time to set up then! That might be the issue xD (i did this just minutes ago)

 

Ugh... i set it to strict... not flex. Fixed that after reading documentation... how abouts would i go with setting up a strict + letsencrypt?

Domain only when creating the letsencrypt?

 

humm, now im getting too many redirects.

https://www.insertblank.com

 

Dang that is a TON of steps... its working now. Is there any... faster way of going about this? lol

I just want to thank you again always there to help and more importantly teach.

 

Last question, with the method you told me to do... will that auto-update the letsencrypt certs before they expire?

As they do with the option 2 > Get Letsencrypt SSL certificate Nginx vhost? [y/n]:

 

Perfect! One last question... I honestly dont know where to ask this...and I'm hoping I can resolve this locally... for some reason with cloudflare enabled I am having all traffic from a newly set up site forward to the first site I set up. The moment the user clears their cache this quits. I've verified nothing crazy is happening in my vhosts or cloudflare setting...but the moment the cache is cleared locally on the end users computer is resolves correctly. Any idea why this is happening?
