SSL Protected phpBB

[andifah]

Hi there,

i want to install a ssl protected phpBB-board... Could anybody tell me how i can do that? And where can i get further information about x10hosting and ssl?

I do not know how to make the board SSL but I can tell you that when visitors go to your Web site, they'll get an untrusted certificate warning because you cannot have a SSL Certificate on Free Hosting.

jea, i know. I dont care about the warning its just about the encryption

mmh, dont really helps me...

If i want to open my webspace with https:// in front of the url firefox just says: "ssl_error_rx_record_too_long". no matter if i try it with the phpbb or an empty folder.
Do i have to enable the ssl function or something like that?

I think the post is saying to go to the admin panel and choose to use secure cookies, and then it should automatically start using SSL.

Https://yourserver.x10hosting.com/~cpanelName/

just change out yourserver to your server name, and cpanelName to your cpanel name.

just did it, no ssl

Https://yourserver.x10hosting.com/~cpanelName/

just change out yourserver to your server name, and cpanelName to your cpanel name.

same error like before, thanks to the https. The url to my cpanel is http://stoli.x10hosting.com:2082 (i found it in the memberarea of x10hosting). The cPanel works but i cant find anything about ssl there.

Can you access https://stoli.x10hosting.com:2083 ?

Not now, but its because im working and my company banned this port i can test it in 3 hours at home.

whats the difference between this panel and the one i use?

 

[leafypiggy]

It's the ssl version.

I am heading off to school, but you can leave posts here and I'll answer them in about 8 hours.

you need to use https://stoli.x10hosting.com/~andifah/ if you want SSL. It works for me in FF 3.5.2
