Hello fellow Sys Admins. Rookie here seeking for help.
I have setup a web server running on NGINX on Debian 9 Stretch and managing my domain on Cloudflare.
I managed to install an SSL cert for my root domain using certbot with the dns-cloudflare argument to install an SSL. This is one works flawlessly when accessing the root domain, say example.com its www subdomain. The root domain serves a WordPress installation.
I want to serve a Prestashop installation on a sub-domain - shop .example.com
I’ve already installed Prestashop and can access it through the shop sub-domain but can’t get a SSL working on that particular sub-domain. Any ideas on how to go about this?
Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. https://crt.sh/?q=example.com), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.
My domain is:
I ran this command:
It produced this output:
My web server is (include version):
The operating system my web server runs on is (include version):
My hosting provider, if applicable, is:
I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):
I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):
netprosystems.co.ke. 300 A 104.28.28.76
netprosystems.co.ke. 300 A 104.28.29.76
shop.netprosystems.co.ke. 300 A 41.80.91.20
www.netprosystems.co.ke. 300 A 104.28.28.76
www.netprosystems.co.ke. 300 A 104.28.29.76
Can you post the Nginx configuration? "sudo nginx -T" will display it.
The redirect is not a normal redirect generated by Nginx. It's possible that PrestaShop itself is producing it. If so, that might be fixed by setting PrestaShop's "Enable SSL" setting or something.
Sorry I forgot to close the quotation mark but I ran the command, SSL was successfully installed, but only works for www.netprosystems.co.ke but not shop.netprosystems.co.ke
shop.netprosystems.co.ke is also under Cloudflare’s CDN but I can’t access the Prestashop installation under that subdomain when I enable Cloudflare’s proxy on it that’s why I’ve disabled it for now. If I enable proxy on shop.netprosystems.co.ke, it redirects to the root domain - www.netprosystems.co.ke
Running sudo nginx -T produces the following:
