First Time With Ssl And Certificates

[ICTCity]

It's ok, just redirect the 404 from http to https.

 

Your cert is installed correctly.

[iphonogasm]

this doesnt appear to work either

 

Internal server errorhas occured

 

http://megahosting.co.nz

 

The redirection page

 

 

Redirecting...

 

function redirectHttpToHttps()

{

var httpURL= window.location.hostname + window.location.pathname + window.location.search

var httpsURL= "https://" + httpURL

window.location = httpsURL

}

redirectHttpToHttps()

[ICTCity]

what the ...

Try the first scenario, of course change OWA with your site :P. it should work because I don't understand why you have INTERNAL SERVER ERROR -.-

[iphonogasm]

noooo i have internal server errors everywhere now lol

[iphonogasm]

ok i deleted my web.config and all seems ok now

 

back to square 1 )

 

LOVE IT!

[ICTCity]

Ok now I'm laughing too :D

 

What the hell?!?!?!

[iphonogasm]

lol yea....well all is stable again....

 

but, there almost seems there should be a more stable way to direct http to https. This seems really weird to me?

 

Im almost temped to get a redirection script, create a new site with the HTTP binding, add the script to a index.html to direct to https://megahosting.co.nz which is a site whcih already exits!!!

 

WTF!!!! LOL

[ICTCity]

your network is... your network ^^

 

I've tried multiple redirection on work website and everything works like a charm ^^

[iphonogasm]

So ive managed to get as far as a SSL redirect loop haha.

 

I took the rediection page redirectToHttps.htm and renamed to index.html and set index.html to default document.

 

obviously it just keeps loading the index.html....

 

Then tried changing the redirect page index.html code to this

 

 

 

 

Redirecting...

 

function redirectHttpToHttps()

{

var httpURL= window.location.hostname + window.location.pathname + window.location.search

var httpsURL= "https://megahosting.co.nz/index.php" + httpURL

window.location = httpsURL

}

redirectHttpToHttps()

 

 

 

 

 

Also, a random through....what about using php require once?? and call the document only once.

 

Dont think this would work though

[ICTCity]

You are almost there... if I vist http:// I have a redirection on:

https://megahosting.co.nz/index.phpmegahosting.co.nz/

 

So fix the last part )

[iphonogasm]

yes but it keeps redirecting correct?

 

How to fix this as it keeps loading the default page as the redirect page? hence the loop...

[ICTCity]

I think you have a redirection in REDIRECT (from IIS) but you also have a script running in some page that redirects too. Right? If yes, delete one of them.

[iphonogasm]

i dont know whats going on, it almost seems like IIS is not restating properly like its takes a while to restart using iisreset

 

anyway it should work now can you test?

 

Thanks!

[ICTCity]

Same as before. Stop the IIS and start. If you can, restart the server. Check the event viewer for errors

[iphonogasm]

yes i am running iisrestart cmd

 

i had the script destination wrong, set to https://megahosting.co.nz so it was loading the index.html again and looping..

 

set to https://megahosting.co.nz/index.php

 

can you try now lol....

 

Thanks!

[ICTCity]

You don't understand how to redirect :P Now the redirection points to:

https://megahosting.co.nz/index.phpmegahosting.co.nz/

 

You are really close... really close...

[iphonogasm]

lol but its working for me....locally and on my iphone (3G)

[ICTCity]

mhhh not for me :P

[iphonogasm]

cache?

 

im real concious about cache and clear everytime before testing???

 

my iphone is on a public network so not sure why its not working for you!

[ICTCity]

Mhhh ok now it's redirecting on the right website but once loaded I have "internal error" mhhh strange.

[iphonogasm]

lol really, does it load the index.php at all?

 

or is it when you click a link

 

the about page doesnt work yet, and reseller hosting and SSL certificates still no page!

 

Thanks again for your time!

[ICTCity]

Mhhhh now everything's fine... odd

[iphonogasm]

haha, hopefully it stays that way!

[ICTCity]

just another thing...

 

Set up a reminder somewhere to renew the certificate... maybe one month before it expires so you have time to re-buy another one and nobody notice anything :). Well, I did this but unfortunatly I did so many time POSTPONE on outlook and one day people started to call me asking why there was a "certificate error". I have ordered a new cert but in some way the file was corrupted so I passed almost 5 hours answering questions about cert error. Finally when everything was resolved outlook give me a pop-up: REMINDER: Renew SSL Cert!

 

What a great day ^^
