The New Method to Setup SSL for WordPress on Google Cloud Platform

Рет қаралды 22,841

3 жыл бұрын

This tutorial will show you how to setup SSL/https/port 443 for your WordPress website on Google Cloud Platform. We use the one-click-deploy pre-configured virtual machine found on Google Cloud marketplace. We also use a custom domain name from Name Cheap.
We use Google Cloud Network Services to setup a load balancer that fronts that traffic over HTTPS and uses SSL termination and proxies the traffic to the backend instance group. This load balancer will utilize Google Managed SSL certificate which is the easiest way to use SSL on GCP. For this load balancer we must also setup a health check route.
Next we use cloud DNS to setup a DNS zone to point incoming traffic from our domain to our load balancer. We then go into NameCheap (our domain registrar) and supply the given name server addresses to point our domain traffic to our GCP instance.
Flush Local DNS
Windows
ipconfig /flushdns
Mac
sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder
*Remember to set TTL to 1 second, use incognito window and flush DNS when testing your website! DNS propagation can take time to process otherwise.

Listen UP! GCP changed how health checks work - I NOW SUGGEST USING a TCP Health Check instead of HTTP. This should resolve some issues folks were seeing.

Once we put google NS records on Godaddy nameservers, it will route all traffic in to Google Cloud DNS. Instead can we just put a "A" record on godaddy for load balancer's public IP?

@Data Slayer I am lost if you can help that would be great, at 2:59 you create an instance group called instance group 2 then when you set up the load balancer you point it to wordpress-instance-group but I can't see where in the process you created wordpress-instance-group? Is there an extra step? What have I missed?

@fabiohaberland1585 3 жыл бұрын

Many thanks for the tutorial. I am trying this for the second time and am currently waiting for the SSL to provision. In the meantime, I have two questions that I am not sure to be relevant. Q1) When I select the instance group in the load balancer, I don't get the message saying that I have named ports. I just added 80 to the port, but I am not sure that is all I need to do. Should I create a http named port? When I just fill in the port as 80, I am not defining any origin (http or https) Q2) You create a static IP for the load balancer and then added it to the DNS which will forward it to the WP VM through the load balancer. Would it be possible to, instead of creating a new static IP I would just change the VM's IP from Ephemeral to Static or do I need a separate IP for the load balancer?

WordPress is open source and therefore free is probably the main benefit. Also with lates version 5.7 WordPress can do the drag and drop stuff in Gutenberg inbuilt pagebuilder which is probably better than using external page builders as page speed gets very fast which is good for SEO to rank higher in search machines. I am not a web expert and only know WordPress basicly and it is fairly easy to use if stick to out of the box free themes like Astra and keep things simple.

Hello Data Slayer, I have a question. I installed WP on GCP with Bitnami. I installed the SSL via the SSH portal and it seems to have secured my site. However images arent loading and I note the IP site states unsecured. I also note the links on the WP Admin side still says HTTP. Would I need to remove the SSL installed via the Bitnami SSH Portal and then run the LB?

I have my domain in hostinger which lets me add the static IP directly as a A record. So if I enter the site using my domain all is fine. Again the ssl is the missing part, how to I configure it? I'm checking the Kubernets install and it already has the HTTPS under load balancing, so I don't really now how to add my domain to the certification.

Setup a load balancer that fronts traffic over HTTPS then point the domain registrar to that load balancer. Then make sure the load balancer is proxying traffic to the kubernetes back end.

Thank you for a very nice tutorial. I've just read your pinned comment and change health check to TCP. Really solved my issue. Sorry I scroll too fast to read other comments first -/\- Please pay no attention to my earlier question below. "May I have a question though? I use this method on a openlitespeed server on GCP. Everything work fine until I change the permalink from Plain (Default) to Post Name. Then the backend suddenly failed the health check. I can access the wordpress through the direct IP (with no certificate), but can no longer use the IP from the frontend of load balancer. Once I change the permalink back to Plain, everything went back to normal. I've tried purging the cache, but the problem still persist. Could you guide me what should I look for next?"

When accessing my domain via https I am currently receiving a "Error: Server Error. The serve envountered a temporary error and could not complete your request. Please try again in 30 seconds." When accessing my domain via http I get a 404 Google error. Looking at HTTPS browser, in developer I can see the remote address is the IP of my public load balancer which was also setup a my A record. Reviewing my setup: - Zones are matching between VM and instance group - VM has "allow HTTP traffic" (I also tried checking allow HTTPS traffic but not change) - Cert is active Only thing that is off is my health check keeps returning as failed. I have the health check to the same settings as you put as protcol HTTP and path /. Wordpress is also setup via GCP one-click as you've done. Any ideas or suggestions?

@DataSlayerMedia 3 жыл бұрын

The problem is the health check, if you visit the URL for your health check in the browser does it return the correct response to satisfy the criteria of the health check? status code 200, etc.

I've tried following the tutorial twice, but for some reason I keep getting the same error result. When I go to the Load Balancing menu on GCP, it shows a warning message saying that the backend service is unhealthy. When I click on that load balancer, I see that the instance group that I created shows as 0/1 in the Healthy column. When I enter the instance group, all seems well. It shows the VM and no error. If I click on the VM's IP, the website opens with no errors. But, If I use the static IP created, I get a 402 error and nothing else. Any tips? The SSL certificate is provisioned.

Sorry if I am asking a question that someone has already asked 1. I am experiencing some weird 404 error when I visit my site via http but works as expected when I go to https. When I enable an automatic redirect from http to https weird stuff happens 2. I used one page zen tutorials to generate ssl certificates (uses certbot) for my other wordpress sites hosted on GCE however I wonder what this load balancer method will cost and if it's even worth it. The setup has not really been that much easier. The load balancer seems like over kill for just a basic thing like an ssl certificate.

Excellent video, I wish had found it before I set mine up, could have saved me a lot of time. Just had a few questions. 1. What is the advantage of using Google Cloud DNS instead of just making the DNS A record for your LB IP directly in your registrar (Namecheap in your case)? 2. Why not use https on the backend as well? Then you don't have to install that plugin. Also might get better performance using HTTP/2 on the backend compared to http? The only complication I had with this is that I had to make the health check use http. I couldn't figure out how to make the health check work using https.

@DataSlayerMedia 3 жыл бұрын

1. AFAIK Name cheap only allows you to provide nameservers not ip addresses. Also the ip's aren't static. 2. You could maintain ssl from load balancer to origin but just recognize that will incur TLS handshake overhead. I'm not sure the added security is worth it.

Make sure the GCP managed cert covers the subdomain. Then in DNS create a cname or aname to point the subdomain to the backend ip.

Hi Refactored, thanks for the great tut!. Any idea how to resolve a Wordpress 'mixed content' error that appears only by way of this method? No issues when A points directly to VM. Thanks in advance!

There are word press plugins that can address this. Basically your html page is reference assets. This causes the browser to throw the error

@placetechnologies 2 жыл бұрын

this was brilliant, but I now have a problem because is can't seem to get back into my Wordpress admin. I didn't quite start where you did as I already had attempted a different Google tutorial which had me create templates etc... noticed your tutorial does not require the creation of instance templates? Should I just get rid of everything I have done, reset my google cloud domain A name to the Wordpress install IP and start from scratch?

The certificate is still provisioning, It's been over 2 days What are the requirement for the provisioning ? *Should we add all the name servers to our domain registrar before ? *Should we strictly use an A record ?

Hi, I have an important question for you if possible: today I've changed my VM build, doing a downgrade in a way to reduce costs for my needs. The problem is that now I get a Database Error saying "Error establishing a database connection". I know that is a thing that may happen also in other situations, but in this case I don't understand. If I try to login to PhpMyAdmin from my browser, I can't do it too right now. Is there a reason behind this issue? Thanks again. P.S. to change the VM build I've first of all stopped the machine, then I've changed the settings and in the end I've restarted the VM.

Update: I've tried to test a new VM with higher components than the last modify (now my VM has 1 vCPU and 1.7GB of RAM, while the last modify was of 1vCPU and 614MB of RAM), and I noticed that the problem was actually a too elevate downgrade. Probably the main reason is that the entire setup of a load balancer cannot be managed from a so low-specs machine.

The mysql server didn’t appear to be running. It could have just stopped when you turned of the virtual machine. I would restart mysql and see if you can get it responding to connections.

@@DataSlayerMedia Thanks for the answer. As I said in the update comment below, the reason that effectively blocked my traffic from database to backend was the too low specs machine that I tried previously to run (less than 1GB RAM). I guess that a complex system with a load balancer cannot be managed with a large lack of RAM.

Hi, thanks for your videos. Let me ask: 1) How do you enable HTTP2, I've set up wp with bitnami and would like to use http/2 2) How do you handle parked domains? if it is possible. thanks in advance.

@DataSlayerMedia 3 жыл бұрын

HTTP2 is a whole other ball of wax that I have yet to dig into. Maybe at some point in the future I will...

@juancboly6818 3 жыл бұрын

@@DataSlayerMedia Hi, thanks for your answer. I've just found the solution a couple of days ago. You don't need to do any extra configuration in your GCP, just in the Bitnami setup. I'm still try to figure out how to park domains. Thanks for your time.

I think GCP changed how they do HTTP health checks. Go into the load balancer, select advanced options, click the health check you set up and change to TCP instead of HTTP. That seems to work.
