I am new to BH and so far I have had a great experience. But yesterday, i wanted to implement SSL for my site. I generated a private Key and a certificate request and then generated a certificate. But when I accesses it, IE 6 threw a warning at me saying it does not recomend that I visit my site because of a certificate error. I figure, maybe I should go to verisign and get a certificate from a "trusted" source.
So I get a free trial verisign cert. that is valid for 16 days and install it on the site without any problems. I visit the site again, and I get the same warning. Then I notice that my URL isn't
https://www.bookershow.net/ like i though it would be, but
https://www.bookershow.net/~bookersh/
Is this supposed to happen? I feel like this might be part of the problem because the URL is different than what the certificate says it should be.
Either that or its the fact that when I use https, it first takes my to the cPanel login, then redirects me to my site.
Where am I screwing up?
