Error Message
Illegal characters in source hostname part. 10
(please share the FULL error message you see)
Other Information
I recently tried to set up an SSL certificate so my website will use https.
I entered my website, mjlc.rf.gd , to work with GoGetSSL on the Free SSL Certificate page.
I received the SSL certificate / set up page that has this information:
Hey there, it is recomded you use epizy nameservers, although the ones you have should work. I would also recommend you use LetsEncript as the SSL provider, I find it easier and faster. Just create a new SSL certificate using LetsEncript and copy and paste the necessary CNAME records.
Thanks!
Visit your domain register and change the nameservers to ns1.epizy.com and ns2.epizy.com. Note that they basically are the same, so there really is no need to change them unless something is not working. I would get the SSL configured first. Let me know if you need help!
I don’t have the option to use LetsEncript because my domain is a free subdomain provided by InfinityFree.
Or am I missing something here? Is there a way to use LetsEncript by making up another domain?
Oh, your right, I guess I never noticed that before
I guess you will just have to use GoGetSSL. Can you screenshot that page with the CNAME information on it? Also check and see if you are translating the page or not (as sometimes that can change the CNAME text on accident).
Thanks
@codeBang You just need to add a CNAME record with the Name of the the first code starting with _82 and with the Destination of the second code starting with 3A and ending with comodica.com
I would rather avoid making a Youtube video, but I will describe in detail what I did.
I’ve attached a second screenshot of the control panel window to set CNAME record.
Where it says “Record Name” in the control panel, I have copy and pasted the Record Name as seen from the first screenshot and the content of my first message above.
Where it says “Domain” of my control panel, I’ve copy/pasted the Domain from the first screenshot/ message above.
Where it says “Destination” in the control panel, I’ve copy/pasted the Destination from the screenshot / message above.
I hope this makes clear the steps I took to establish the CNAME record.
I would like to know how to make it work by using the services as provided by infinity free.
I would rather avoid using cloud flare to get around this issue as I believe that the CNAME record can be established without external services to complicate something that seems simple.
I would also like to avoid eventually paying for a SSL from GoGetSSL directly as inifnityfree.net already provides one. I just need to figure out how to make it work.
Or maybe it’s a lot more complicated, and I’ve just got the wrong idea about setting up SSL?
Any help is appreciated.
Thats right, except the “Domain” part is a dropdown menu, but I get what you mean. After you add the record(s) (Your screenshot shows you did not add anything yet), you will just need to wait (1min-24hr) for the CNAME check(s) to go to “Ready”.
Right.
So you now understand what I’ve already done.
I did all those things, where I entered all the information and then clicked on “Add” on the control panel page and then I get the error message:
“Illegal characters in source hostname part. 10”
I am then forced to click on “Go Back” and my CNAME record has not been created.
Make sure that after you copy it, no spaces end up in front or behind the code. If that does not work, I guess you can try getting it from GoGetSSL’s website, otherwise someone else will have to help you out further.
Thanks, and sorry about the goof-up
Hi
After repeatedly trying to copy/paste the credentials, it finally worked! The CNAME entry was finally accepted and established.
I made sure that there weren’t any extra spaces in front or back of the code.
Thanks Greenreader9
And also thanks to everyone else who made suggestions.
