 | View Full Version : Install SSL ( getting DNS error ) meHP 09-11-2002, 07:37 AM I Have installed SSL on a domain. but when i type https://domain it gives DNS error. this is on IIS. when i click view certificate in dir security and click view cert the certificate is fine. But when i type https://domain it says dns error help 2host.com 09-11-2002, 08:04 AM Does your system use 128 bit cipher? By default a lot of installs came with 56 bit and will produce that error. Of course, it'll do that if the virtual host directives aren't correct too. meHP 09-11-2002, 12:41 PM yes it's 128 bit how can i solve this problem. hostchamp 09-11-2002, 02:45 PM are u able to access your website http://www.domain.com ? One should not be getting a dns error with https if http is resolving. meHP 09-11-2002, 09:20 PM yes i can access the site through http://domain.com but not https://domain.com. that is the problem. eddy2099 09-11-2002, 11:05 PM Was the SSL registered for domain.com or www.domain.com or something else ? hostchamp 09-12-2002, 10:29 AM i dont think ssl is setup correctly on ur server, that could be the one problem i could guess. ajiabs 09-12-2002, 08:16 PM I had similar problem. It was resolved when I gave a dedicated IP to domain.com. So make make sure your domain has a dedicated IP, not shared IP. Thanks, Aji StevenG 09-13-2002, 12:01 AM Usually you would have https://www.domain.com or https://secure.domain.com - It will only work for the domain name as the cert was setup for - Not always true though - you can sometimes view by https://domain.com but receive errors saying the url does not match the certificate... how was the domain entered when requesting the cert? And yes, the domain needs it's own IP address :D |
