Install SSL

[HM2]

Ok I installed a ssl certificate and private key and all that stuff and I changed around my config.php file and everytime I goto access a secured part it comes up 404 page not found

The dreaded "two folder issue"

 

With your ftp program check and see if you've got a folder named private_html or something like that. If you do, drop a little "hello world" index.html file in there and access the site via the https address. If you see your hello world you do for sure.

 

What system is the server running? (Plesk, Ensim etc.)

[HM2]

I'm runnig a unix system. I have a public_html and a public_ftp and under the public_html i have a _private

[HM2]

I'm runnig a unix system. I have a public_html and a public_ftp and under the public_html i have a _private and i tried the index.html in _private and nothin differnt my site is http://publicwholesale.net if you want to see what I'm talking about

[AlanR]

umm, if I try to access http://publicwholesale.net I get a not found error for http://pubicwholesale.net .

 

:blink:

[HM2]

http://www.publicwholesale.net/cart1/ try that out while I fix the first link (the regular link works now)

[AlanR]

You said you installed a Certificate? This is what I get when I click "My Account", then if I continue I get the 404.

My webhost provides a SSL Manger in which i can generate my own KEY my own CSR and my own CRT and i did them all and installed them all they are valid for 30 day what am i doing wrong?

[HM2]

any one with any ideas? Please someone help me

[HM2]

oh yea i forgot to mention it is Apache version 1.3.33 (Unix)

[Guest]

once u generate your csr you then must use it to purchase an ssl certificate from an ssl provider

[HM2]

so in other words I do have a certificate? If not what are all 3 things i generated and it seems to say i do have one and when you goto a secured area it still acts like I have one.

[HM2]

Also my host has cPanel so from what I have read and heard I can generate my own certificate in the SSL Manager and i do believe I did but i get a 404 page not found when i try to access a secured area :sweating:

[Bntbrl]

Does your host have a shared security certificate you can use?

[HM2]

I'v tried contacting them and they havent gotten back to me on that yet. But I surved the website of theres and I'm not sure does anyone know if http://intelweb.biz has a shared ssl

[HM2]

any one any ideas

They say they do, but reading this doesn't much enhance their credibility.

 

How visitor can saw my site?

 

You must upload your main page to the public_html directory via FTP eg.WS_FTP program or login to your cpanel control panel selete file manager and upload your file to the directory you seleted via browser. You must rename your main page to index.html or index.htm

 

You get what you pay for. I'd find a more credible hosting company and pay a few bucks more.

[HM2]

no they have been great. They contacted me back and said I can create my own in SSL and i did but I was wonder why i keep on getting page not found with this shopping cart program

[HM2]

If i go and buy a SSL from another site instead of using the one provided by my host, Will i get rid of the domanin mismatch and get it to finally work correct?????

[HM2]

If i goto https://publicwholesale.net i get a cpanel There is no website configured at this address. how would i get a page displyed? I need alot of help I'm stuck and spending hours on this little thing tring to get it to work

[HM2]

i guess no one knows.

If you generate your own full SSL certificate using cPanel then this will not be a 'trusted' certificate, because it is issued to your site and by your site. A trusted certificate is issued to your site but is issued by a reputable authority such as Geotrust or VeriSign etc.

 

A certificate which is generated by your control panel is called a 'self-signed' certificate and is a complete and utter waste of time.

 

Nevertheless if you wish to use it then once you have generated your own certificate you have to get your web hosting company to restart Apache on that server for the change to take effect.

 

Also, you can only use a full certificate - whether it is 'trusted' or 'not trusted' if your site has its own dedicated ip address. You can't do it if you use a shared ip address.

I contacted them and they said i must set one up in my cpanel. But I'm in the process of geting a trusted one and I will see where I'm at after that. But thanks for what help you guys have gave to me
