Full Version: Fix HTTPS error
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hi there, 

I am currently busy with setting up a website for my upcoming community. I've tried a lot of things to fix the HTTPS, since I had multiple issues with it, I thought I finally fixed everything, a scan on nameservers and stuff says it's all correct.

However, when you go to my website on phone it gives you an HTTPS error and I have no idea how to fix it. When you go to the website: vidiangaming.net on your pc everything is fine, however when I go to the site on my phone (running on android) I get an HTTPS error, and I am not the only one.

Thanks for helping in advance.
As you can see on https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze....gaming.net, the certificate chain is not complete.
If you were following a manual for manual setup, it should have mentioned the setup of certificates for your website as well as the Certificate Authority, which appears to be missing (the SSLCertificateFile directive on Apache 2.4 needs to point to a file containing the signed certificate and intermediate certificate).

You can find examples of Apache configuration on https://mozilla.github.io/server-side-tl...generator/ and the Let's Encrypt certificate (Let’s Encrypt Authority X3 (IdenTrust cross-signed)) on https://letsencrypt.org/certificates/

Besides, I'm pretty much new to this, so would you maybe have the time to help me out selecting the right stuff?
Hi with chrome its easy to detect errors, try to inspect and see where errors are occurring and try to fix them.
When you use https youll have to make sure that each and every link images videos everything that is on page has to be https url only.

even a single url or comments or thread by user contains http://url.com then your ssl will not work. to protect your site from url in comments there is one plugin too.

Do you have a link to the last thing you've said, by any chance?

How did you install the certificate? Were you using your hosting panel (cPanel, DirectAdmin, etc.) or command line instructions?

The forum in question appears to be fine in that matter (it's still important to maintain that state though).

Since we're using a shitty hosting it's currently done with DirectAdmin and it's option to add a certificate.
If you can paste the certificates like described in https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowle...irectadmin, try inserting the Let's Encrypt CA certificate (https://letsencrypt.org/certs/lets-encry...ed.pem.txt) in the CA Root Certificate field.

The thing I wonder is why it didn't work the last time I did it. Anyways it's now fixed.

I'd like to thank both of you for helping me out Smile
