ssl nightmare
| Posted by awdscot, 01-29-2008, 04:10 PM |
| Hi,
i am having a complete nihgtmare trying to implement ssl on my website.
I have ports forwarded on my router for 80 and 443 to my webserver and i can always access my website when i do not have ssl activated. When i do activate ssl though i get the message saying this site must be used using a secure channel which is ok but when i enter https://mydomain.com i just get a message saying page cannot be displayed.
I have installed a certificate and i think it is correct. I am not even be able to access it internally on my intranet.
Does anyone have some suggestions or clues as to what i could be doing wrong?
Regards,
Andy

| What does the following result from the server?
telnet localhost 443
What does following command result outside from the server?
telnet mydomain.com 443

| telnet localhost 443 is ok
telnet server 443 from computer in network is ok
telnet mydomain.com 443 from external doesnt work
I presume this tests port 443 is open but going by results this should work internally. Could it be a problem with the certificates i am creating?

| Could it be that your ISP has inbound port 443 blocked?

| Hi, thanks for your reply. I think i have figured out my problem. I had web forwarding set up which then invalidated my certificate.
