I ran into a slight problem when running Ghost on my server. The issue occurred when I tried to log into the admin interface (/ghost
). It complained about my URL, giving me the following error:
Access Denied from url: unenglishable.com. Please use the url configured in config.js
I popped open the Chrome developer console and found that I was getting redirected from www.unenglishable.com
to unenglishable.com
. My config.js url was set to https://www.unenglishable.com
, but my certificate is only valid for unenglishable.com
, so Chrome was redirecting to where the certificate was valid for. (I recently switched to Let's Encrypt's SSL service, Certbot)
I fixed this issue by changing my nginx config to point both unencrypted http://www.unenglishable.com
and http://unenglishable.com
to SSL-encrypted https://unenglishable.com
via reverse proxy. I then updated my config.js to have url: 'https://unenglishable.com
. With redirect, I can now visit either www or non www and everything works just fine.
Hope this helps!
Resolves:
Access Denied from url: [url]. Please use the url configured in config.js
