SSL Certificate Not Working
There can be any number of reasons why a SSL certificate is not working properly. If you are unsure of the cause then the best course of action is to seek help from the customer support department of your SSL certificate provider. Below are some of the most common SSL certificate errors and possible solutions:
SSL Certificate Not Working:
When connecting to my site over https, my browser alerts me that I have both secure and non-secure content.
Solution:
This error occurs when you are trying to reference files from your (or somebody else's) web server over http when you have a https session. Either change the file references, e.g. graphics, style sheets, etc, in your HTML web page code to https or use relative links.
SSL Certificate Not Working:
My browser states a warning next to "The Security Certificate Date Is Valid" whenever I connect to my web site using SSL.
Solution:
This indicates that the certificates has expired, or is not yet valid. It may also indicate that the time/date is incorrect on the computer being used to visit the web site over https.
