Cloudflare WP and cPanel Login Issues

[AussieDave]

Hi,

Decided to give cloudflare.com a go.

Setup everything correctly, however, when I try to access either cPanel hxxp://mydomain.com/cpanel OR hxxp://mydomain.com/wp-login.php Neither work.

I've tried:

• yourdomain:2082 (and with /cpanel)
  
• yourdomain:2083/ (and with /cpanel)
  
• yourdomain.com/cpanel

None of these work. I just get an invalid token warning everytime I attempt login.

As far as login into wp-login.php, I get a page not found.

When I change the DNS back to my VPS, everything works fine again.

Help or means to access these pages, with cloudflare active, is appreciated

The site loads up correct through clouflare DNS?

I did the same move yesterday and it worked somehow.

Have you tried this?

Step #2

Create a page rule to exclude the wp-admin or wp-login sections from CloudFlare’s caching and performance features. You can access PageRules in your CloudFlare 'Settings' options.

e.g.

*example.com/wp-admin/*
*example.com/wp-login/*

Why do this?

While there is not always an issue, we have seen instances where optional performance features like Rocket Loader may inadvertently break certain functions (editors, etc.) in your WordPress back end.

Cpanel i usually login with the server ip address.. regards to the wp-login I had something similar, it was just a basic Cname mod to forward.. I assume you have www. pointed correctly also?

All you have to do is set it up in cloudfar and re-direct your dns in your cpanel. You shouldnt have to amend any files.
