a question on https
happy new year all
how does https work ? I have installed the oscommerce shopping cart in one of my site, but somehow all of a sudden all the https pages will not display on IE,all it does is just churn out the server not found error. but if I use firefox or netscape it just ask me for the certificate and then no porblem.
The question I wanted to know is if my hosting company could have done something for this to happen, beacuse it was all working before and i had not done anything to it, and then yesterday this problem just cropped out of nowhere.

For https to work, you need to install a SSL certificate on the domain concerned. You would need a dedicated IP on the domain for this.
If you have installed the certificate, was working previously and the problem was sudden, it might be that your web host moved your sites to a new server, new ips (without alerting you) and this would make sense.

Hi,
so what was the problem? Did they moved your certificate or certificate was not installed at all?
