I feel your frustration, dealing with something like an SSL cert requires a little more knowledge than what can be gleaned from message boards. As you already know, the volumes of advice you don't understand will only confuse the issue even further.
Too often people get the idea the Internet is only about about "free," and they can do everything themselves. Sooner or later we all need help, and it sounds like you need to pay someone for their time to resolve your SSL issues.
If you really need to share a link with someone, you can do so via the private message/sticky mail links here, but it's no guarantee someone can "fix it for you" as our time is important, too.
anyways when i go to my site with fire fox is works just fine but when i go and try to my site with internet explorer theres always an error message that pops up here
Ok, and whats the error message? You could get a lot more help if you would go into a few details. We do not know what server setup you are using, what software you are using, nothing.
If an error message pops up only in IE my best guess would be its something like: "This page contains secure and unsecure elements". Which for example would mean you have links or elements in your page that are not being called with https:// but with http://
No offense meant - but if you do not even know which information you need to provide so someone can help - you should definetly think about hiring somebody to fix this issue, because chances are high you would not be able to implement the solution someone gave to you on this forum.
There are websites where you can rent coders for small money.
the certificate that i have and that godady installed is called a turbo ssl
the error message i get in internet explorer is
security warning
do you want to view only the webpage content delivered securely?
this webpage contains conent that will not be using a secure https connection.which could compromise the security of the entire webpage. and i have tried it out on my main part of my domain as well as sub domains which include a blog and a forum as well and i looked at the coding in the blog and forum and everything is using an https in front of it and im not sure why internet explorer would be this stupid and do this when any other browser is works fine in.
the error message makes me beleave there is content on the webpage thats not using https but ive looked through all the coding and dont see any thats using http because i changed it all over and thanks for advice
Do you have any banner ads, or affiliate content on your site that might be serving images etc. using http? You have searched your entire code for "http:" and turned up nothing?
but ive looked through all the coding and dont see any thats using http because i changed it all over and thanks for advice
The most common issues are:
- images
- external JavaScript files
- external CSS files
- 3rd party content (banner advertising, AdSense, page counters, analytic programs, etc.)
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
if (location.protocol != 'https:'){
window.location= 'https://' + location.host + location.pathname + location.search
}
</SCRIPT>
If you've got the lock, then it's working. If you are talking about the green address bar in IE, that's something you have to pay more for... there's several threads on here debating whether it is worth the extra cost...
Your not the only one that never noticed this! I've had quite a few customers call us and tell us our sites are not SSL encrypted and their not safe and I had to enlighten them that IE7 moved the SSL lock icon location. We all have brain farts from time to time! :> So I assume your question has been resolved?
