1peter1 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 It says on the SSL page: "By default we activate a self signed certificate for all domains." However, if I try to get to my site using: https://mysite.byethost17.com, I get an error: "This site can’t provide a secure connection" How do I get this working?

Tx Peter remember to wait a couple of hours for the system to recognize the certificate, also clean the history of your browser and reload the page if in a few hours you can not access via https try to upload the ssl certificate sometimes it does not load well you must to become Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1peter1 Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 I didn't upload a certificate. It says one is activated by default. What do I have to do to get this working? Have I got to upload / activate something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1peter1 Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 ?Oh,Great! Just when SSL is about to become virtually compulsory, they get rid of it? Weird! Thanks for the info, though. Any idea when they going to take the marketing blurb of free SSL down and stop wasting our time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1peter1 Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 So, now I've downloaded the private key from freessl.space and copied the DNS record line to my clipboard. Now what do I do with it? hostronavt's tutorial says: "Go to your VistaPanel, CNAME records, and set the one that is given for verification." The vistapanel Custom CNAME records page wants me to put a source and destination, and a drop-down in between that says "NO DOMAINS ON ACCOUNT" - I tried putting the clipboard contents in source and mysite.byethost17.com in the destination (and several other combinations), but just got errors like this: Illegal characters in domain name. Illegal characters domain name part. 5 Illegal characters in source hostname part. 10 Invalid TLD . Invalid Domain name. 5.. Some detail on how to "set the one that is given for verification" would be appreciated. Tx Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1peter1 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 So there's no way to use ssl on a byethost sub-domain? It would be reeeeeeeeeeally handy if the documentation made that clear! I've found Freenom to be rather unreliable. Perhaps I'll go try out gigapages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
