Hey guys, I've noticed that some of you see "DNS record not found" when checking the record in mxtoolbox. If you're one of them, check back 3:05 and make sure that you _removed the domain name from the "Host" section of the record_ . The DNS manager appends the domain to that value automatically, so if you don't remove it, the resulting record will have a duplicated domain, meaning that the record is created incorrectly.

I've been racking my brain trying to activate the SSL on my new website for several days, reading tutorial after tutorial on Namecheap's help guide, and asking customer support to help. It's been incredibly frustrating and time consuming. Then I found this video and you walked me through exactly how to do it in 5 minutes. I'm astonished that not even Namecheap support were able to explain it this clearly over several attempts. I don't understand why it has to be this complicated. Clearly I'm not the only one who has struggled with this!

You can manage the DNS records there only if you are you using BasicDNS, PremiumDNS, and FreeDNS nameservers. If you don't see the management options there, then you are using hosting or other custom nameservers.

What do I do if I generated a crs code then generated another one because I forgot to copy the private key?

@EasySSL

2 жыл бұрын

The CSR you submitted initially will generate an SSL certificate that has no matching private key -- that SSL is virtually unusable in this case. But this can be fixed by simply reissuing the SSL as shown in www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/811/14/how-do-i-reissue-my-ssl-certificate/ . This procedure is free of charge. You will be able to submit a new CSR there. Note that in order to initiate a new reissue, you have to complete the validation process for your initial SSL.

Yes, the one that you see at 1:35. It has the "BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY" header. You should keep it all the time, or at least until the SSL is installed and working -- without the private key, it is not possible to install the SSL.

it keeps saying not found but when I got to the website the top of it says secured so do I need to do anything

This depends on the current DNS and hosting setup. I'd recommend that you contact Namecheap support so that they can look at your setup specifically.

Can I remove the CNAME record after SSL validated and active? Is this record required for future installation?

The purpose of that record is simply demonstrating that you really have control over the domain. As soon as the SSL is validated and issued, the record can be removed.

Hey David. Hope you've already sorted out the issue, if not, you should check the nameservers at the main domain settings page in your NC account. This guide is applicable only for the cases when you have BasicDNS, FreeDNS, or PremiumDNS nameservers -- these allow managing DNS records in your NC account directly. If you have other or custom nameservers set up, the CNAME has to be created at those nameservers (in cPanel, for example.)
