organizations certificate has been revoked - SSL BROWSER ERROR

June 10th, 2008

So, you installed a cert… all appears fine… but, now in IE7, you are getting the following ERROR:

“This organization’s certificate has been revoked.”

But, you don’t believe that its really a revoked cert ?

Ok, do the following:

Go to Tools - Internet Options - Advanced.
Scroll down to Security.
Remove the two check marks beside the settings to do with revoked certificates.
Click on Apply.
Exit IE7.
Open IE7 and try the site again.

If the SSL site now works without any warnings, then you know that the certificatess has been revoked.

Contact the SSL issuer about why the SSL CERT was revoked.

Networksolutions.com is registering domains when you check for domain availability…

March 3rd, 2008

Here we go again… in this unregulated internet that we live in… its like the wild west…

So, you go to www.networksolutions.com, and you check to see if a domain name is available… sure, everyone has done it… they are the biggest… they were the first… the godfathers of domain name registrations… oh yea, and they havent always been known to be the kindest when it comes to doing business with the little guys…

well, here we go again… if you thought you had heard everything… now, netsol is going to “temporarily reserve” your domain name if they feel like it for up to 4 days… just for checking to see if the domain name is available… here is the link to the policy, including the pertinent information:

http://www.networksolutions.com/legal/legal-notice.jsp
Use of our Web site search tools to search for the availability of domain names is subject to our customer protection measure, which may result in the searched domain names being temporarily reserved and available for registration only at NetworkSolutions.com for up to 4 days. When the reservation period ends, the domain name will be released back to the registry and will be available for registration through any registrar. If you wish to remove the reserved status of a domain name for which you searched, please contact customer service at 1-800-333-7680 for assistance. To read more about our customer protection measure, please click on the following link (or cut and paste it into your browser): http://about-networksolutions.com/customer-protection-measure.php

cgi scripts not working - getting 404 page not found error

September 27th, 2007

ok, as you know,

if a perl script is written incorrectly, the error that your browser should show is: Internal Server Error.

So, if you are getting a 404 page not found error on a perl / cgi script…

the problem is going to be one of the following:

1. wrong permissions on the file - cgi scripts must be chmod 755

2. cgi not checked in modify account in WHM

3. httpd.conf virtual host entry may be missing the ScriptAlias entry for cgi-bin - so the server would be trying to use the system cgi-bin instead of the one in the account’s public_html directory.
