WordPress website migration

@IRJ That is probably why then. Virtual host settings are in the apache config

Get familiar with wordpress CLI so you can change the web site site address from command line

Easy enough to do with wp-settings file as well. I did not need to change domains in this case though

[IRJ]

Everything is migrated over to new server. I confirmed that domain is resolving to the new server. I was not able to grab a new cert, but the old one appears to be working fine. Maybe it's because I was requesting a cert for the same domain?

[IRJ]

Well wtf copying the config didn't allow me to grab a let's encrypt cert. However it did fix my url rewrites, but that was expected.

Still same virtual host error.

[IRJ]

Doesn't full mean it's using my cert? This seems odd.

[IRJ]

I see now that it doesn't verify certificate unless you select strict. OK back to figuring out the LE issue

Unable to find a virtual host listening on port 80 which is currently needed for Certbot to prove to the CA that you control your domain. Please add a virtual host for port 80.

@IRJ Full (strict) requires a valid certificate.

Why use a LE cert if oyu have CloudFlare in front? Use the cloudflare cert for the machine.

I thought I had a guide around here on how to use LetsEncrypt with Cloudflare and an Nginx proxy. If not, I could write one quick enough when I get home, I have it scripted now. I'd imagine you could use the same setup for your Wordpres site.

But what would be the point? You can have a 100% solid reliable encryption without that headache simply by using the machine CERT from cloud flair

@IRJ This would be a heck of a guide if you ever get the time to do it
