I'm getting an "Invalid SSL certificate Error code 526 notice."

I don’t know why I’m getting this notice. As a result of this, my website is not showing. My SSL certificate does not expire until 1/10/2025. It was created and issued on 10/12/2024, and it’s still active.

The screenshots below show the Invalid SSL certificate error notice and when my SSL certificate was created and issued. What must I do to correct this issue?

Did you install the new SSL cert?

KangJL,

As I mentioned, the SSL certificate was created and issued on 10/12/2024, and it shows that it’s still active. It expires on 1/10/2025. But that does not help my situation because I’m still getting the Invalid SSL certificate error message? Would I need to go ahead and install a new SSL certificate? And would I need to remove the previous SSL certificate before I install the new one?

Hello there, i think you should check this configuration section.

keep in mind that for Full (Strict) mode, Cloudflare expects your origin server to have a valid SSL certificate that is either signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA). if you don’t have one, you should set the settings to either full or flexible

Hi Herbert,

I had the SSL/TLS encryption settings on “Full (Strict).” I changed the settings to “Full”, and it worked! My website is now showing on the Internet! Thanks for your assistance!
