How to enable https support on custom domains #23049
-
|
I have a registered domain - https://mentalhealth-kb.net and added a Let’s Encrypt certificate to it last week. The GitHub Pages URL for it https://mhwkb.github.io/ The first problem is that in the options for my repo, under the custom domain section, the check box is disabled (after I enter in the the custom domain and save).
The second problem is that when I go to https://mentalhealth-kb.net in my browser, I get the message

Add www. before your domain name in CNAME file. |

I’m getting the following message after updating my DNS to point to the four IP addresses: Enforce HTTPS — Unavailable for your site because you have a custom domain configured |

@tagatuhaI’ve got that message too, but it’s changed a few times for me since I started fiddling with my settings. Right now I’m told Unavailable for your site because your domain is not properly configured to support HTTPS I’m gonna let it sit for a day or 2 and see how things look after the DNS update. I’ll post here if I get things straightened out properly and make notes on what I’ve done. |

Hi @andy5995, @donotspampls, and @tagatuha, Edit: You need to use our new IP addresses to set up custom domains. These are:
If you are still having this problem after using these new IP addresses and haven’t opened up a ticket with our support team, could you please contact us at git.io/c? That way, we can help resolve this issue. Thanks! |

can you provide those additional ips |

Hi fizannaik, I cannot recall the additional IP which was in A Records list. Besides, the A Record list is unique to individual user and thus it will be of little value for you to know the unrelated IP that was making trouble in my case. |

I successfully resolved the issue by first removing all A records associated with the new IP addresses. Subsequently, I proceeded to remove the custom domain entirely and then re-added it. This approach effectively resolved the issue for me. |

In my case, I had to remove the custom domain from the repository settings, then re-add it. This did not immediately work, but nine hours later, the certificate was issued and my site started being served over HTTPS. So I would suggest to anyone having difficulty to first try removing and re-adding their custom domain, if they have not already done so. And secondly, a little patience may be required – the process can take a number of hours. |

I deleted the custom domain (setting the custom domain field to empty and hit save), waited 30 seconds, and then added my domain again. Now I’m getting the expected message! Fast forward 5 minutes and the certificate was issued and the checkbox was clickable. Now I have HTTPS :smileyvery-happy: Enforce HTTPS — Not yet available for your site because the certificate has not finished being issued |

Thanks @tagatuha , I did what you said, but 12 hours later, I still see Enforce HTTPS — Not yet available for your site because the certificate has not finished being issued with a checkbox I can’t click. @that-patI’ll open a ticket, thanks for the suggestion. |

I assume it’s because not all the bugs have been worked out of the automated process yet. It’s a very new feature. |

If you're using Cloudflare you need to disable their proxy feature

Thank you! This worked for me. I deleted the other DNS records that did not pertain to github per @ThirdEyeRose's answer, then since I use CloudFlare I toggled the github DNS records' Proxy status to 'DNS only'. A minute later after one refresh I was able to see the checkbox to force HTTPS. |

@ldjb thanks to this guy's suggestion, I was able to solve the "Enforce HTTPS Unavailable" issue for my website. When I tried to enable HTTPS enforcement on my domain, I received an error saying my domain was not properly configured to support HTTPS (mywebsite.domain). To fix this, I removed the custom domain configured in my Pages settings and then added it again. After waiting about a minute, the "Not Secure" warning disappeared from my domain - it worked! Let me share the steps I took that led to this issue in case it helps others: I built my website using GitHub Pages at guanerlin.github.io |

First remove all unnecessary records. Then give enough processing time, We need patience. |
