Ric Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 In the light of sparse information I think the first port of call is to navigate to folder: UniServer\udrive\usr\local\apache2\logs Open the following two files: error_ssl.log and error.log To see if they provide a clue! All the bestRic Quote
ricktza Posted May 9, 2009 Author Report Posted May 9, 2009 okay i fixed it can i fix this or do i have to pay ..... criminalgangs.webhop.net uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate is not trusted because it is self signed. Quote
Ric Posted May 9, 2009 Report Posted May 9, 2009 The Wiki is a good place to start!To generate a new server certificate close the servers and use “Method 3 Manually”Found on this page: http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/4.0-Mona:_Enable_SSL The certificate generated is for a personal secure server, this means your users need to provide an exception in their browser and accept the server certificate as being trusted. Alternatively you can use a free CA such as CAcert: http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/SS...rt_Introduction They are working hard to get their root certificate into Fixfox however it’s a shame they are not there yet, hence your users will again need provide an exception in their browser. If you want your users to see a green light! You need to purchase a signed certificate from one of those expensive suppliers. The following may be worth a read: http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/Un...A:_Introduction All the bestRic Quote
ricktza Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Posted May 12, 2009 is it possible to make the cerf on another compter for the other one to make it not selfsighned??? or aint there a way to tell it that it signed by someone else ??? but there one problem it only allows one that it know so i dont think that wil fix the problem.. and other website that seem to offer them seem to make it so hard to get one...

Ric Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 For a private server you can become your own CA by using the CA plugin. Users are verified against this, it removes the self-signed certificate problem. However it does not remove the need for a user to install your CA certificate. Hence back to square one! The important point, for a personal server, data and passwords are encrypted over the Internet. That means it prevents eavesdropping by a casual user. If a user is outside of your trust, they are not going to knowingly install your CA certificate. Hence why a real signed cert should be difficult to obtain. As for cost! Well that’s down to any insurance that, that particular CA offers. A more serious issue is that you are not prevented in anyway being your own CA or to use encryption of a certain restrictive defined length. All the bestRic Quote
