To obtain the necessary information from your Webflow SSL to install it in Laravel Forge for your subdomain, you can follow these steps:

  1. Generate a Webflow SSL certificate:
  • Log in to your Webflow account and navigate to the Project Settings for your website.
  • Go to the Hosting tab and click on "Enable SSL".
  • Choose the option to generate a new SSL certificate for your subdomain.
  1. Retrieve the SSL certificate:
  • After generating the SSL certificate, Webflow will provide you with a ZIP file containing the necessary SSL files.
  • Download the ZIP file and extract its contents.
  1. Convert the SSL certificate format:
  • Laravel Forge requires the SSL certificate and private key to be in the .pem format, so you'll need to convert the files obtained from Webflow.
  • Use a tool like OpenSSL to convert the files. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the folder where you extracted the SSL certificate files.
  • Run the following command to convert the certificate file to .pem format:
    openssl x509 -in webflow.crt -out webflow.pem -outform PEM
  • Run the following command to convert the private key file to .pem format:
    openssl rsa -in webflow.key -out webflow.pem -outform PEM
  1. Configure Laravel Forge:
  • Log in to your Laravel Forge account and navigate to the server where you want to install the SSL certificate.
  • Click on the "Sites" tab and select the site or subdomain you want to secure with the Webflow SSL certificate.
  • Scroll down to the "HTTPS" section and click on "Activate SSL".
  • In the "Certificate" field, paste the contents of the webflow.pem file that you converted.
  • In the "Private Key" field, paste the contents of the webflow.pem file that you converted.
  • Save the changes and Laravel Forge will automatically configure the server to use the Webflow SSL certificate for your subdomain.
  1. Verify SSL installation:

  • After configuring Laravel Forge with the Webflow SSL certificate, you should verify that it is installed correctly.

  • Visit your subdomain in a web browser using the HTTPS protocol (e.g., https://subdomain.yourdomain.com) and check if the SSL certificate is valid and trusted.

    Congratulations! You have installed the Webflow SSL certificate in Laravel Forge for your subdomain.
