Cannot get SSL to work-am I doing something wrong

[digilexic]

Okay, I followed the steps on site-helper, I have a static IP for the domain I am using on the server. I lease the server, so I am the admin.

1)I go into the SSL settings in advanced, and I generate a self signed certificate.

2)I turn on SLL on the domain

3)I choose symbolic link option

whenever I go to access a page with https:// all I get is a blank screen with the padlock at the bottom. I even tried to install the 30day turboSSL certificate, and get the same results.

I am running oscommerce and cannot get the SSL to work at all...getting page not found errors all over.

Been working at this for three days now, Help!!!!

If you're getting the padlock, then SSL is working.

Shell in to your server. Then:

# cd /home/USERNAME/domains/DOMAINNAME/
# ls -al

of course replacing USERNAME and DOMAINNAME with the correct data.

Then post the output of that ls -al command.

looks like I got it working, though I am not exactly sure how.

I had already tried upgrading OPENSSH but I did it again.
I upgraded apache to 2.2.3
I upgraded php
i upgraded modsecurity

now the snake oil cert shows up...and I assume I will only have to put in the correct information once I get the cert
