Hello, Recently, I have just successfully installed this forum into my server machine. But instead of just running a single Discourse forum on the machine, I combined it with cpanel web host for running custom html for other contents that I need. So I followed the [How to set up Discourse on a server with existing Apache sites](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-set-up-discourse-on-a-server-with-existing-apache-sites/30013) guide from the howto section. It works perfectly but the tutorial only provided with http with HAProxy. Then, I did a little research on getting SSL to work with HAProxy, it turned out its just pointing certificates in HAProxy. And Okay, that is solved, but here comes another problem, since I had to change the port in order for it to not conflict with each other, I decided to change Discourse’s app.yml from 443:443 to 4445:443 but whenever I rebuild the apps and tries to get into the site with that port, it doesn’t tend to want to load. (I also disabled the port 80:80 which I changed to 8888:80 (which works fine)) Lastly, the problem with my domain, since I’m using Cpanel, when I set the Cname community to point to my domain, I always get to the page Cpanel defaultpage where nothing could be found. I was wondering if it’s possible to have the subdomain point to the discourse forum instead of pointing in the folders. The way I setup my subdomain for this purpose was (Since I use cloudflare for my dns) I setup a Cname of community pointing to my ipaddress of the machine, and usually I would create the subdomain in cpanel as well, but since I believe it will conflict each other, so I didn’t create a subdomain in cpanel with community. * * * To summarize my issues - SSL Port not working when changed to something other than 443 - SubDomain not working due to Cpanel, even though I have the domain setup correctly Here’s my discourse app.yml file, I have removed my domain and email w/ password for security > Here’s my HAProxy config > Was wondering if anyone has tried this and succeed before (Cpanel w/ discourse and w/ SSL Enabled) Any help would be appreciated, will try to reply ASAP - DC --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-can-i-enable-ssl-while-running-on-a-different-port-issue-with-subdomain/44646)._
