Why Is Cheap Colo More Expensive Than Cheap Dedicated?
Oct 19, 2007This is probably a dumb question, but I've been curious about something. While shopping around for either a cheap dedicated server (less than $75/mo) or a cheap colo for a 1u server, I have noticed that the cheap dedicated servers are often less than a cheap colo, which seems odd to me since with a colo you bring your own machine.
For example, Sago Networks has cheap dedicateds for $50, $59, $79 etc. yet their cheapest colo option is $99. For Sago's $50 dedicated you get 1000GB transfer and 2 IP's, and with their $99 colo you get only get 100 GB transfer and 1 IP.
And Sago is not unusual in this respect. I've priced other providers that fall into this category and they have similar differences.
So why is colo more expensive than dedicated for similar, if not lower, features?
SSL Cert
Mar 11, 2007Have been given a task where I am not familiar at all..
Task I have been given is to 1. implement mod_ssl in apache 2.2.4
2. create ssl cert for mail server
3. create ssl cert for Terminal Server
Now the problem is am unsure when I create these crt files and keys should I enable a pass phrase or not?? Am using openssl and the documentation states if it is a server certificate then maybe better not to have a passphrase..
Initially I thought I dont want the user when they check there mail to have to authenticate their mail account and also the passphrase for the cert and same for the TS users but am unsure of the meaning and usage of the passphrase.

Shared SSL Cert
May 11, 2007user of shared SSL and trying to use my hosts shared SSL cert to process the form opened from a menu link. The form opens OK using href=[url] on the test page, but when I submit the form using the action=[url] I get a IE cannot display this webpage error.
The host says:
The way you are using our shared SSL is correct. Still there is lot of scripts in the /home/blah-blah/public_html/staging, calling the link [url], which in turn gives error. This means that the scripts do not work on our shared SSL. It seems you need a separate SSL installed for your domain for the scripts to work properly.
Should it matter how many scripts (I assume he means php scripts) there are in the /staging area?
Is there another way to securely send this form to the server for processing? Do I need a cert for this domain to make this work? I've seen threads on this topic in other forums but the discussion level was between experienced developers, not a beginner like me. I would appreciate a do this not that kind of answer if possible.
Firefox And An Intermediate Cert
May 22, 2007I had to reinstall a Verisign cert last week. After cleaning out a mess of old certs, keys and csr's I finally got the thing to install properly.
However, I get a "Website Certified by an Unknown Authority Error in Firefox".
Everything including the intermediate crt is installed correctly as far as I can tell and I get no error in any version of IE.
Here from the httpd.comf file:
Code:
<IfDefine SSL>
<VirtualHost IPADDRESS:443>
DocumentRoot /home/myuser/public_html
ServerName www.mysite.com
UserDir public_html
User myuser
Group mygroup
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/myuser/public_html/cgi-bin/
SSLEnable
SSLCertificateFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/www.mysite.com.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/share/ssl/private/www.mysite.com.key
SSLCACertificateFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/www.mysite.com.cabundle
SSLLogFile /usr/local/apache/domlogs/www.mysite.com-ssl_data_log
CustomLog /usr/local/apache/domlogs/www.mysite.com-ssl_log combined
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
</VirtualHost>
</IfDefine>
The key matches the cert, and the cabundle is directly from Verisign.
Has anyone had a similar problem with getting a Verisign or other intermediate cert to work properly? I've reissued the thing twice and so far nothing has changed. It's like the intermediate cert isn't being sent even though it is installed.
When viewing the cert in firefox the Certificate Hierarchy only shows my domain. In internet explorer is shows Verisign Class 3 Public Primary CA -> Verisign Class 3 Secure Server CA -> My domain.
SSL Cert Doesn't Work On IE
Apr 20, 2007I ordered a RapidSSL (also called QuickSSL) cert from RapdiSSL.com (GeoTrust) to test out an email service. It works on firefox, but not in any version of IE I have on my two computers at home, a PC and a laptop running 6.0sp2 and 7.0 respectively.
When I raised a trouble ticket, Geotrust responded with a ppt attachment that clearly shows the cert working for the domain in IE. I have no reason to doubt them, but I replied with a ppt of my own showing the cert not working and am waiting for their reply.
Is it possible for a cert not to work on a specific browser like this? When I asked my email service provider, they said the following:
Quote:
Hello,
This indicates a problem with the SSL certificate that was installed. Possibly, an intermediate certificate issued by your certificate authority is need to be installed in addition to the one you gave us to enable Internet Explorer to fully trust your certificate and show the secure site.
Note for example that the only difference between going to
[url]and [url] is the certificate in use ... the same server and software with the same settings is used in both cases. I recommend going back to Geotrust and ask if there is a Geotrust Intermediate certificate that should be installed in addition to your issued certificate."
The domain is CNAMED to their server so that the app looks as if it is being run off my domain. I don't think there is anything non-standard about this because LuxSci is a topnotch provider and this is how they enable their clients to run private label services.
To Get Old SSL Cert Revoked If I Move Provider
Nov 4, 2007If I get an SSL certificate from one SSL provider and then decide to go with another provider for the same subdomain, do I have to get the first one revoked or simply replace the old with the new?
View 5 Replies View RelatedIE7 Warning For Shared Cert Offered By Host
Sep 2, 2007As many Reseller Hosts offer shared certificates as a feature, and many resellers have small-business clients who make good use of this, is anyone else finding it a major problem where visitors using IE7 get an error message for pages using the shared certifcates?
Quote:
There is a problem with this website's security certificate.
The security certificate presented by this website was not issued by a trusted certificate authority.
Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.
We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website....
As a layperson visitor seeing that, I would not even think of using the link they offer to "continue" anyway. It scares customers off. I asked my Host about it and he said that it is beause all the shared SSL's are self-signed certifcates, so they do incur that error.
How are others dealing with it? No other option but to advise the client to get their own certificate?
Are there resellers that do NOT have this problem with their shared certs?
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Existing SSL Cert Removal
Sep 23, 2014So after the palaver yesterday, I managed to remove everything to a degree enough to reinstall Plesk. I'm still having quite a few issues but at least the websites are up and running again.
One of the more important ones is SSL certificates. Apparently they still exist somewhere, but they're not showing up in Plesk.
I tried doing /usr/local/psa/bin/certificate -l -domain <domain>, however that returns:
PHP Notice: Undefined index: CSR; File: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/api-common/cuCertificate.php, Line: 878
Error occured while sending feedback. HTTP code returned: 502
PHP Notice: Undefined index: Priv; File: /usr/local/psa/admin/plib/api-common/cuCertificate.php, Line: 878

Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Export SSL Cert To PKCS12
Jun 9, 2015I have a valid cert installed for a particular domain on my plesk server. I would like to take that cert info and export it to a valid PKCS12.
I was looking for the actual cert or pem files on the server but couldn't find them. Should i just copy all of the cert information to text files and create a pkcs12 via command line?
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: SSL Cert For Specific Domain
Dec 15, 2014Currently i'm running a server with 12 customers on it. They all have their own domainnames and subscriptions. One of them wants to secure his site with SSL and also his mail traffic. Currently he is using the mail.hisdomain.com server for receiving/sending e-mail. I want to install a certificate so that domain is secured. How can i accomplish this?
When i look on the server there is only 1 PEM file for the whole server. If i'm going to install his KEY and CRT in that file than all my clients will use that certifcate right? Can i make it so that only his domain uses thoses certifcates? Plesk is configured to use Postfix with Courier.
1 SSL Cert... 1 Domain... 2 Servers. How To Setup A Backup Server
Jan 13, 2009We have two in-house servers, one is hosting our public web server. The other one was just purchased to host a mirror of the production server (as a backup). The site is protected by an SSL cert... my question is how do i set up the server(s) so if/when the backup server needs to be switched into produciton, the SSL cert will transition flawlessly?
They are both apache 2 servers.
Code Signing Certificate (cert Companies Becoming Vampires)
Jul 9, 2007One year ago a company I work for purchased and used a Code Signing Certificate from Comodo. This type of cert. ables to sign code, so your software executable files display 'company info' when downloaded, and avoid confidence warnings from Vista/XP and so on.
Now it's time to renew this cert (well, just purchase a new one) and surprise, this type of cert. has *raised* the price on every certification company I've looked.
Although I think this is just stealing money from companies, we need it, so I was wondering if you have some good deal to share.
I've seen $179 *a year* at Comodo, $499 *a year* at Verisign (holy cow), and the best deal so far is $563 for *three years* at globalsign.net.
Apache :: Bypass Client Cert Requirement For Localhost?
Feb 20, 2013I just setup an intranet wiki running apache2.2 on ubuntu 12.04. The server currently requires two-way certificate authentication (i.e. a server cert AND client certs).In <VirtualHost *:80>, Redirect permanent / https://<intranetSite>
Everything works dandy, except now that I'd like to find a way to bypass the client cert check for localhost so that I can run some maintenance scripts via cron on the server. Or perhaps it's possible to bypass SSL entirely, just for localhost?
Plesk 12.x / Linux :: Change SSL Cert Assigned To IP Address
May 4, 2015I changed the default certificate (I added the certificate and marked as Default in Server->SSL Certificates).Also I assigned the SSL certificate to my domain.
This works fine, but now I'm trying to make the website PCI Compliant and their test shows that if you request the certificate from the ip address (instead of using the domain) it showns the Parallels self signed certificate instead os showing the default certificate i uploaded). I used also ssltools.websecurity.symantec.com tool and it shows the same. How to change the certificate shown for the one I bought?
Plesk 11.x / Linux :: Assigned New SSL Cert To IP Address - Still Showing Old
May 24, 2014I had an SSL cert that is about to expire so I purchased a new one, installed it, uninstalled the soon to expire cert. Went into Tools and Settings > IP Addresses, and assigned the new certificate to the IP.
Although I deleted the old certificate, it still shows in a browser as well as when I test the domain at a SSL server testing website. The new certificate shows also in both browser and test website, but it is a secondary certificate after the soon-to-expire cert.
How do I get rid of the original certificate?
Apache :: SSL Cert Files And Mod Rewrite For Multi-tenant Hosting
Feb 21, 2015I'm trying to set up a multi-tenant web application across multiple servers and would like to provide ssl for those tenants
I know this is possible to dynamically assign ssl using mod_rewrite, but I'm worried about speed.
Does apache cache the ssl cert file(s) when using mod_rewrite, or does apache lookup the ssl file every handshake / session?
How ssl cert files work and if using mod_rewrite is a worthy approach if connection speed is important.
Can You Wildcard Ban On APF Like: 12.34.67
Aug 4, 2008I am starting to notice a range of IPs I'd rather not have access to any portion of my server's existence.
Can I add them to: /etc/apf/deny_hosts.rules
in this fashion:
12.34.567.
(This would effectively ban anyone whose IP began with these digits, regardless of what the last bracket's # is)
Possible?
I'd test, but my IP does not reset so frequently and I don't want to lock myself out of the server if it ends up working.
Wildcard Dns ..
Jul 21, 2008I run a free hosting service where users can sign up for a free blog.
With wildcard DNS and A entry, the users that sign up for a blog get the addy: theirblog.mydomain.com
This all works but there is no scalability. I have reached the limit of what my server can take.
If possible I would like to run multiple servers with just one domain.
So that when server 1 reaches its limit, it is possible to sign up new users that gets theirblog.mydomain.com (same domain) but now its physically stored on server 2.
Is this possible if you use wildcard DNS for the users subdomain sites?
I am quite new at this. I know there are ways to manage one domain on several servers, but is this possible too with this setup using wildcard dns and subdomains?
Wildcard Dns
Jan 12, 2007I bulk register .com names for future use, and out of all the ones I use, only about 30 have actual sites, whilst I have about 200 that are just not doing anything.
I have seen places like godaddy who whatever website people visit just gets fowarded to a landing page, and I have set it up so the nameservers all foward to my dns servers (I manage my own infrastructure).
I have seen through IIS it is possible to have a "catch all" website where any traffic goes there, however, how do I set this up in DNS?
I tried creating a zone called .com but that didnt work! and I really dont know what I should do!
Wildcard

tar -zcvf sqldata.$date.tgz *.sql
As it seems the server is taking that * as a character, not as a wildcard.
What would be the proper character for a wildcard symbol?
Wildcard SSL
Feb 22, 2007Does anyone know.. if you have a wildcard ssl cert for *.domain.com meaning you can use anything.domain.com can you also use anything.anything.domain.com (ie. unlimited subdomain levels) ?.

Apr 22, 2009So setting up wildcard DNS was easy enough, but I am trying to actually have wildcard *.*.mydomain.com
Is there any way to accomplish that, not having to add an entry for each *.actualsubdomain.mydomain.com ?
