What in the world does "holding certificate hostage" mean?
Trying to move the SSL cert?

yep and they are being absolutely no help. I told them I thought they were a bunch of jackasses...no response but it made me feel better

Have to buy new ssl stuff now. New server is LIGHTNING quick now this other thing with IX was so freakin slow it was pathetic. Even the web mover guy commented how slow it was. Took upwards of 30 seconds to start to load a page at times.

this is NEXT. Bill I'm not ignoring anyone I'm just trying to get back to a stable setup then move on to something new and get this rock solid. This computer stuff is really getting to be a thorn in my side right now.

Step 2: thou shalt not call people who try to help you Geeks

Buy a new SSL cert...they're pretty cheap nowadays. Make sure you buy/install it so you always have a copy of it.

yea I had a copy here and the guys tell me that it doesn't match. I cut and pasted the whole thing to myself 6 minutes after I received the new certificate so I'm scratching my head. IX won't give us the one file we need even though it's on the server so I guess it's buy a new one.

Anyone who knows how to do all this stuff is a GEEK

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.

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.
