Plesk, Let's Encrypt SSL, CloudFlare

Gene Steinberg

Regular Pleskian
I have the free CloudFlare configured on all my domains.

In accordance with the instructions I received in your Lucy From Plesk email, I installed the Let's Encrypt free SSL and added this to many of my domains and subdomains. Installation more or less worked on all.

But now when I try to check my web stats for any domain so configured, I get a 403 Forbidden warning from CloudFlare nginx. This only happened after I used Let's Encrypt.

When I tried to activate HTTPS on one of my XenForo forums, it also produced the same error, so I turned off that option.

CloudFlare settings don't reveal any way to adjust SSL on a free version of their service.

Any ideas?

Peace,
Gene Steinberg
