Removing a SSL certificate

[Shadyone]

I've searched hi and low and cant find anything to help.

 

Well over a year ago I got an SSL certificate for my web site and never really finished off the site and therefore didnt promote it at all.

The SSL certificate expired in March this year I think. I went to go back into my site and it doesnt work at all.

 

www.wholesalevitamins.com.au

 

The first time I tried it I got the 'turn globals on' error message. I worked out how to sort that out and now when the site loads its pretty shocking.

 

The company that I bought the SSL certificate off helped me 'install' the certificate and I'm only assuming that they changed some settings in order to do so. Now that the certificate has expired my site is buggered.

Does anyone know how to properly remove it all.

 

Again, I'm only assuming that this is the cause.

 

Cheers

For some reason your site's base href is set for the https version, which is incorrect.

 

Check your includes/configure.php and ensure that ENABLE_SSL is set to false and that your HTTP settings are set for http.

Will do thanks.

How do I check that the HTTP settings are set up for http?

I changed the /includes/configure.php so that ENABLE_SSL was set to false (it was set to true).

 

I also had a look in cPanel X for a SSL manager, which I found but only found option for generating key's and certificates, nothing to remove a certificate.

This is the only reference I could find to fix the 'base href is set for the https' thingy.

 

I looked in the .htaccess file and couldnt find any reference to chrset

 

my file is below

*********************

#RewriteEngine On

 

#RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$

 

#RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,R=301,L]I tried deleting this line but nothing changed

 

 

 

# -FrontPage-

Am I on the right track?

A'ha so the 'error security connection failed' page that kept on coming up when I tried clicking on the page was actually done by firefox, I made an exemption to the site and its all there working fine.

I do notice that in the address bar up top it does say https://xxxxx so how do I get rid of that?

OK, so after some googling I removed the first three lines from the .htaccess file

 

#RewriteEngine On

 

#RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} ^80$

 

#RewriteRule ^.*$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [QSA,R=301,L]

 

Not sure if it was needed as I dont know whether the '#' in front comments the line out.

 

Anyway, didnt make any difference, still directs everything to a https:.......I'll keep searching

[germ]

See if this file exists:

 

/includes/local/configure.php

 

If it exists it could contain data that could be causing SSL to remain active.

Thanks germ, couldn't find anything in the folder except a README file

[germ]

So what do you have for these 7 lines in your /includes/configure.php file:

 

  define('HTTP_SERVER', ''); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

:unsure:

[Shadyone]

I dont see the second line in your example. Could this be the problem?

 

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.wholesalevitamins.com.au'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.wholesalevitamins.com.au');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

[germ]

That's the fly in the ointment:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.wholesalevitamins.com.au'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

should be:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.wholesalevitamins.com.au'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

[Shadyone]

Aha! that did it!

 

Thank you very much for the help Jim.
