So At the control panel for the ssl section of my account i have the infos like screenshot below


At the namesilo i have records to Manage SSL Section like screenshot below


but when i click the button “refresh dns status” , at ssl certificate section of my domain , i get the message below

The required CNAME record could not be found.
The required CNAME record could not be found.

Where is the issue and get this error?How can i solve this?

Thanks for any help

Hello there,

You must add the CNAME records directly here on InfinityFree.

To add CNAME records here, follow the following instructions:

  1. Go to the Client Area and choose the hosting account that you want to configure.
  2. Go to the Control Panel
  3. Go to “CNAME records” under the “Advanced Sections”
  4. Then add the correct records

Should i wait to take effect ?

Thanks for your help

Yes indeed, usually it would only take a few hours (as what I have experienced all the time), but it might take up to 24-48 hours for it to fully propagate.

So, UnknownLolz , certificate and private key was generated and i think that i have install it correctrly .Should also wait to take effect ?

Thanks

Yes, wait for the SSL certificate to get propagated if you have successfully uploaded and installed your certificate in the Control Panel. It will only take a few minutes up to a few hours.

Also make sure to insert this code into your .htaccess file if you want to force SSL:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Thank youi man for the infos ,

Is this the correct structure ?

##################################################

DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE DIRECTLY

Create a new .htaccess file in your htdocs

directory (or example[dot]com/htdocs/ directory)

to add your own rules or override these rules.

##################################################

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm index2.html
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

And what permission should i apply for this ?

I edit directly the .htacces file and now i can not access my domain

I checked your domain name and no SSL certificate has been uploaded to it. Please note that you need to upload both the private key and the certificate to your control panel. One can’t work without the other.

I will check this out now ,Thanks admin.And what can i do for htaccess file ?Can i generate a new one ?

Thanks a lot !

What kind of .htaccess do you suppose you need to “generate”? The main .htaccess file cannot be edited normally. But if it’s broken or deleted, you don’t need to recreate it (it mostly contains a few cosmetic things).

And if you want to create a new .htaccess file, you can just go into the file manager, create a new file with the name .htaccess. A .htaccess file is just a file with a special name, there are no hidden flags or settings that make it anything special.
