Getting 'error' for new site: HTTP-code: 200 (OK) - Error message: Invalid host

Hi!

I’ve been using mainwp for several sites and it works perfectly. Now I have a new site, which is hosted at a DIFFERENT web hosting server and now I get this error message when I test the site:

HTTP-code: 200 (OK) - Error message: Invalid host.

I cannot seem to figure out what is wrong. The host I use is 100% correct (e.g. when I use www.google.com it will give a 404 in stead of 200), but it still doesn’t work.

When looking into the access log of the child website I see the following:

185.94.230.89 - - [21/Nov/2020:13:02:20 +0100] "POST / HTTP/2" 200 129687 "http://mainwp.website" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MainWP/4.1.2.1; +http://mainwp.com)"
185.94.230.89 - - [21/Nov/2020:13:02:21 +0100] "POST /wp-admin/ HTTP/2" 302 0 "http://mainwp.website" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MainWP/4.1.2.1; +http://mainwp.com)"
185.94.230.89 - - [21/Nov/2020:13:02:21 +0100] "GET /wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fchildwp.website%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1 HTTP/2" 200 8340 "http://mainwp.website" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MainWP/4.1.2.1; +http://mainwp.com)"

I have changed the mainwp url to mainwp.website and the childwp url to childwp.website in this post.

There is nothing in the error log on the host of the child website.

I’m not sure if this is correct and if someone can see something wrong in this.

Here’s the server report for the main website:

Thanks for reading and I hope someone can help me figure out what is wrong!

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Toverbal,

thanks for reaching out.

You mentioned that you get this response from the test connection:

HTTP-code: 200 (OK) - Error message: Invalid host.

However, what error message do you get when you actually try to connect the site?

Hi @bogdan, thanks for your reply. If you mean what message I get when trying to add the site in stead of testing, it shows the following message:

I’m not sure how to proceed, it’s not really descriptive :slight_smile:

Hi @Toverbal, thanks for the update

I see that there is an OpenSSL misconfiguration on your dashboard server. Notice this SSL Warning:

error:2006D080:BIO routines:BIO_new_file:no such file

Has your MainWP Dashboard been hosted on localhost or web-hosted Win server before the current location?

Hi @bogdan,

Thanks for your answer. The MainWP dashboard host not been changed, but there are already 3 websites connected to the dashboard. All these 3 websites are hosted on the same server as the dashboard, but I add them with the URL, not with localhost.

The site I wish to add now is hosted on a different server than the MainWP dashboard. So it is probably somwething on the server of the MainWP child I’m trying to add, but I don’t see any errors or anything like that :slight_smile:

I hope you can think of something I can try to clarify the error :slight_smile:

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Toverbal,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Would you be able to send me temporary login to your MainWP Dashboard (via Private Message) so I can check this further?
