    Solved SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN error when accessing forum

    Technical Details


    Forum version : #phpBB3
    Position : Founder
    Concerned browser(s) : Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer
    Screenshot of problem : https://images2.imgbox.com/f3/64/8cb8t8rJ_o.jpg
    Who the problem concerns : All members
    When the problem appeared : Problem started Nov.11/2017
    Forum link : https://bladerunner.americantalk.net

    Description of problem

    Hi there, this SSL error (screenshot attached) started showing up yesterday around 7PM PST, and went away for several hours and then it came back again sometime after 2AM PST. I'm worried this is kind of message will scare readers away, despite them being able to simply make a exception in their browsers. Something has changed with the americantalk.net domain - not being seen as part of the forumotion network? The site has had the SSL certificate since May 2017 and no problems prior to Nov.11/17.

    Thanks in advance,
    Kenj

    Hello can i ask how long you have had a HTTPS address on your forum ?

    Sorry just see the time you added it in your post.

    Have you gone over all your forum and looked to see if there is any items on your site that has a link photo IMG that has a HTTP address on it ?

    I ask this because if your site is in HTTPS mode and Google or any other system reads a HTTP address it will flag up as unsafe.

    You're right is now gone and I checked with another person elsewhere. I will close this topic if everything is OK over the next couple days, but I guess for now let's wait and see. It already went away once, that was able to catch, now this is the second time it has gone away. Confused

    Thanks for the help anyway, hopefully I won't need anymore. Angel

    It was showing up on the entire site, but it hasn't happened again since the 12th. Whatever was wrong, its been corrected, as far as I know its been behaving as it should for a solid week now. SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN error when accessing forum 1f607
