SSL Cert is expired

FYI, the SSL cert for philliesphans.com expired yesterday, so I get a warning when I visit the site.

FYI, the SSL cert for philliesphans.com expired yesterday, so I get a warning when I visit the site.

I've already alerted Chris about this. It began about midnight (technically, the cert expired at 11:45 pm).

For the time being - depending on your system/browser, you can tell your browser to override the certificate warning. I've been able to do this (on the Mac) with both Safari and Firefox. Chrome...no. If you're a Chrome user (on the Mac, at least), my recommendation is that, until the cert is updated, just use Safari or Firefox instead. Not ideal (I'm a Chrome user...), but it works.

On the PC... I don't know, at this point. I don't have a test bed here.

Yah, thanks, I know what the warning is about so I just click 'accept/ignore/chillax' on whatever dialog pops up. Basically, I'm just exercising my bad habits.

Just as long as y'all are aware, that's what matters.

BTW as the volunteer admin of a few things myself, I say THANKS to all who keep the board running!

Starting today, my browsers are flagging this site as unsafe and urging me to not enter.

Sorry about that. Of course it decided to break while we were out of town for the weekend. New cert is now installed (and the broken automation fixed).

No worries. We coped, eh? Thanks for making it all better!

Thank you Chris

[kikutaro]

It seems to be broken again? My bot doesn't work any more because of it, not sure how to work around that.

[csnyder]

Fixed—sorry about that.

[bkeich]

Nothing to be sorry for Chris, thank you

Once again, some kind of SSL cert problem. I've alerted Chris. Chrome is unhappy, but Firefox allows an easy override.

Firefox on my pc is working but I can't access the site on my iPhone.

Firefox on my pc is working but I can't access the site on my iPhone.

On my iPhone:

• Safari asked permission to override security once, and remembers this on future visits.

• Chrome splashes a warning, lets me override it; doesn't remember it in future sessions, so I have to do it each time I go to the site. It doesn't have a problem moving between pages on the site, once you're there.

• Firefox... The version on my iPhone tries to go to the site, briefly throws up a warning page, then reverts back to its "new tab" screen - and it won't stay on the warning page long enough to even read it, much less follow any link it may be showing. I define this as a bug in Firefox; I'm fine with it throwing up a warning, but it shouldn't be denying me access to that warning page and exceptions.

On my Mac:

• Safari asked once if I wanted to exclude the site from security check, and now it's fine.
• Firefox - ditto.
• Chrome - I can go through "Advanced" to get to the home page, but every time I try to navigate to another page on the site, it blocks it again. [EDIT: I have been able to get Chrome on the Mac to cooperate - but I had to dig into Chrome's advanced settings, and then into the Mac's Keychain, and change the default settings on the Certificate that expired yesterday - I've told it to "Always Trust" the site. It works for me - but I don't think I can recommend that others try this, unless you really know what you're doing.]

So... On the Mac, use Firefox or Safari. On the iPhone, use Safari.

I have no ability to test Windows at this point. If we're still having issues on Tuesday, and if I have time then, I may be able to test and update this.)

On Windows, Firefox throws up a warning, and allows you to back out or go to advanced. Once you go to advanced it asks if you want exception for this site, and thereafter it works fine.
