Hey everyone,

Has anybody ran into this issue where no router seems to be selected and trafik keeps returning 404s?

### What did you do?

Setup traefik with the following configs:

```auto
entryPoints:
  web:
    address: ":80"
  web-secure:
    address: ":443"

log:
  level: DEBUG

accessLog: {}

api:
  dashboard: true
  insecure: true

certificatesResolvers:
  le:
    acme:
      email: admin@everflow.io
      storage: acme.json
      tlsChallenge: {}

providers:
  file:
    filename: /etc/traefik/config.yml

```

```auto
http:
  routers:
    tracking:
      entryPoints:
        - web
        - web-secure
      rule: "Host(`tracking.olivierboucher.com`)"
      service: tracking@file
      priority: 1
      tls:
        certResolver: le
        domains:
          - main: "tracking.olivierboucher.com"
  services:
    tracking:
      loadBalancer:
        passHostHeader: true
        servers:
        - url: "http://130.211.40.247"

```

### What did you expect to see?

Be served the content available on [http://130.211.40.247](http://130.211.40.247)

### What did you see instead?

A 404 error

### Output of `traefik version`: (_What version of Traefik are you using?_)

```auto
Version: 2.1.1
Codename: cantal
Go version: go1.13.5
Built: 2019-12-12T19:01:37Z
OS/Arch: linux/amd64

```

### What is your environment & configuration (arguments, toml, provider, platform, ...)?

See above

### If applicable, please paste the log output in DEBUG level (`--log.level=DEBUG` switch)

```

It seems like traefik is unable to select a proper router. I also tried different rules (like a match all regex or / path prefix) but all of them still continued to give the 404.

Hey 🙂

That's actually a false "assumption" lets say. You have set the service tracking to use the url `http://130.211.40.247` as a backend.

You should see the page, once you try to hit `tracking.olivierboucher.com` as this is the rule on your router 🙂

Sorry if that was not clear but that's what I am doing... This config is live at the moment, you can hit [tracking.olivierboucher.com](http://tracking.olivierboucher.com) and see the 404

Hello,

sorry, I was on vacation 🙂 It currently works as intended. You did select the router to be a TLS Router which resolves certificiates over Lets Encrypt.

Thus, with that configuration, you need to hit your page with [https://tracking.olivierboucher.com](https://tracking.olivierboucher.com/).

If you want to have automatic redirection, you will need to create a seperate router which does the job.
