maybe it was a paste lump over one of the bytes

That could be Bill :hee:

the cert is issued for the dns name, have you looked at the cert in a viewer?
No reason you shouldn't be able to move the cert file to another machine, I do it all the time.

Cert is attached to a name and a static IP which won't move. Easiest is to get a new cert - they are cheap.

I move my certs to different ips

Nothing in the cert is tied to a specific ip address

Internal certs or external SSL? You can export them from the server holding it IIRC but you need to do that before going to the next box. I don't believe you can reapply the old cert to the new box (defeats the purpose, eh). I've been fortunat that I've only updated the same box or created new - never had the need to export/import a cert

SSL Certs
in most cases, I move the cert to a VIP in front of the box, offload
We normally use our RSA certs, as long as it is the same dns name we don't get screwed.

Generating a Certificate Signing Request (or CSR) takes necessary information from your key, and adds information about your web site and your company that will be used to create your certificate.
The "common name" prompt will be the name of the site that your SSL Certificate will be used on. You should pick this carefuly, because the certificate can only be used on this name. For example, if you type "www.webpipe.net", it will not work properly on "webpipe.net".

It's not tied to IP...you need to be able to export it from IIS.
If you were running a better web server, you could just copy the keyring file around ;-)

BINGO we have a winner. I SHOULDN'T HAVE to spend $120 to buy new certificates. The webmover guy said this too. It's because IX is holding the file hostage now that I do.

I got liquidweb to set the permissions on the cgi directory last nite. That's 9/10ths of the battle for the cart. I'm going to upload the cart files later if I get some time and maybe try installing the cart tonite.

The GOOD news is that I pointed Bill at one of the url's and he says its 4-5 times faster than the salty site is right now. THE FRIGGIN WAY IT SHOULD BE instead of 30 seconds to load a page.

now if you only listened to what we said..........
and then did it.........

You said check the banana oil and I did :lama:

and you said the led was broken and you didn't fix it

Step 3: don't ignore Geeks if you're going to call them Geeks :-)

I was waiting for you to come and measure it with your pocket slide rule

Rule #3 One should never debase those that are geeks

My pocket sliderule is round

Bill I talked with the computer shop twice today he ran diagnostic stuff and it all said it was fine no problems, then he said he found bad ram on the board and it had caused it all to write wrong stuff with the programs. He was a little surprised his diag stuff didn't pick anything up. He's got about 12 hours into this thing so far and as of 3:00 he wasn't any closer to a solution. He was installing windows on a spare drive and wants to see if it still has the error problems on this drive. He's not 100% sure that it's a software problem he still thinks it could be a hardware issue. Ran a windows reinstall and also ran a windows repair and didn't fix the errors.

Aye yi yi.

Sawdust

nope clean.

overheating

no I don't think so bill this machine gets blown out very regularly and there is minimal dust. It's not near any machines either. It's across the aisle from the bridgeport.

just trying to guess as to why you would get intermittent RAM failures. Heat is a major factor

I just talked with him again he spent quite a bit of time on it last nite and said the registry is hosed seriously. He's going to make the d drive the new c drive and load the os on there so i'm going to have to reload the whole frickin thing

can you feel me beating my head on the floor?

do you have ecc ram?

speak english :hee:

man I'm just running around with this ssl thing. Guy sends me 2 csr for the certs and I send them to registrar. I get the new ssl back about 10 minutes later and uploaded to the server thru the plesk panel. Registrar directions for plesk 7 (mine is plesk8) said that to finish the install I had to restart the "apache service" which I don't have on there. It was still saying that the cert was from swsoft until yesterday when he puts a trouble ticket in with the webhost people. Now it comes back and tells me the certificate s/n is a duplicate of another and is no good. Email to the registrar hasn't been answered in 15 hours. Got any ideas?

Shop computer being picked up today. Problem was all software the machine worked fine on another drive...so he swapped the c/d drive and reloaded windows and I got to rebuild machine today. At least the data files are still there.

getting closer. Man what a frickin disaster. One guy needs to do this, nuther guy sets it up and screws something else up in the meantime.

Think of all the valuable knowledge you've acquired.
Next time it will take you 10 min to do it all.

Good you got the hardware guy on the shop machine, that thng needs a serious scrubbing

ECC ram is error correcting ram, so if you have a bit failure in RAM it's recovered automagically. Make sure you get the good stuff not the cheep stuff installed.

No seagates either.

and if you had the symantec backup you'd be all set.

yea no kidding.

If I generate a csr for a ssl cert and send it to the registrar and they send me back a new cert (which I paid for new certs AGAIN) how can it come back as expired on the normal exp last July?

That is really a good question. I don't know that answer.
It should be for future use, that's what mine are.
