we are finallyyy getting to this

its winter breakkkk waow

ok…

where were we…?

lets go revisit the sase website ig

interesting thing to notice is that the ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR cant provide a secure connection error is back

SSL error screenshot

i ran the sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder command and that fixed it again tho

Website after DNS flush

ok what do i even do from here now lol

even the links on this outdated page are broken and redirect somewhere else

so maybe i look into what hostgator is supposed to do…? ????? idk


i dont think we have a cpanel (control panel)

…lol

JK I LIED IT JUST TOOK FOREVER TO LOAD 😭

there are two buttons to press for

  1. “If you are not behind a firewall that blocks port 2083”

this one loads for eternity but then eventually loads into

cPanel login page

but i have no idea what the login credentials might be

and

  1. “If you are behind a firewall and can not connect to port 2083”

after clicking this one,

`https://cpanel.sasepurdue.com/“ gives 404 error lol

so probably not this


ok lets log into hostgator using sasepurdue’s credentials

i just logged in cuz i was trying to find the cpanel username to log in

but then i noticed

Expired SSL certificate

our ssl security certificate is expired

which i didnt know hostgator didnt do automatically for us??

im pretty sure cloudflare does that automatically for my website…


ok lowk im getting fed up with this

and im not even really sure why we’re using hostgator

like why cant we just use cloudflare

a little bit of googling seems to agree with me

and this hostgator thing is so damn old


ok switch gears cuz i cant do ts

wordpress

  • cms
  • no coding necessary
wordpress.comwordpress.org
use wordpress’s hostingself hosting, self building
download the software urself

we want wordpress.org^^

(i think)


ok more research

switching off hostgator and going to cloudflare wouldnt solve our problems

cuz cloudflare cant host wordpress

🥀


maybe i should do a side project on doing a wordpress site first…

another day !
