Hi.
When I try to use CF's free SSL on one of my sites it says.

Right now they don't support free SSL via cloudflare partners, in this case via CPANEL. you will need to sign up at cloudflare and configure your domain via them and enable 'FULL SSL' otherwise it won't work. If you try to contact the support they will go round and round in circles. Speaking with experience.
Did you try flexible SSL?
You might not have a cert activated. You can either create one in cPanel or I could get you a free Wildcard if you PM me with a CSR. or, use flexible SSL (but then it's not really encrypted, but might be good for SEO).
create self sign cert and use full ssl
Are you using pro plan? Or Free?
Because depends on your plan, you can wait up to 24 hours before their SSL will apply to you!
Btw, get free ssl from woosign, or startssl, and use full / strict mode in cloudflare. Without different issues.
when I go to my site using https it works fine, the thing becomes green, but instead of my site loading i get the "default web site page" with the error that is mentioned in the op
