OK Folks, need some help.

Here's the problem I'm trying to solve:

When people try and connect to THR when it's down, they eventually get redirected to the secure version of THR, which doesn't exist, and times out until the browser is cleared.

What I've done: purchased and installed valid certificates for the https:// version of THR. Configured the firewall to allow the traffic. Configured the web servers to use this certificate. Configured the load balancer to successfully verify which servers are up and direct traffic to them (this took the longest.)

So, if you've been having problems connecting you should now see the HTTPS:// version of THR correctly. Once connected, you should be automagically redirected to the non-secure version either immediately, or when you click on a link.

Is this happening?

If so, are you getting any weird error messages?

Thanks. More complexity than I want to take on, but hopefully a whole range of problems will disappear now.

It's not happening, I had to google the site, and log on through the rifle subforum. I could not get on by going to. "thehighroad.org"

<sigh>

OK. Was working a second ago, and now it went stupid. I'll keep working on it.

Let's see if it keeps working now...

(The problem is this: it works, but convincing my load balancer it's working while also redirecting secure traffic to the non-secure port has been causing my load balancer to tear its hair out. Maybe it's resolved now.)

Mine went stupid a little before noon today.
First it slowed down.

Then I got this:
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.
The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.
Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.

I went ahead and overroad it by clicking on the warning options.
Then Kapersky anti-virus kicked in and and I got a red address bar and another warning.

It locked me down and I couldn't get THR to open at all until just a while ago.

Mine is running fine

Redirecting to the non-secure version OK, when I add the 's' to the existing http address and hit enter...

Very nice. Hopefully that weird "can't connect" issue is now dead.

I was unable to connect through firefox the last couple weeks and had to use chrome. As of today I can open thr with firefox again. Hope that helps.
Thanks for fixing the problem.

Still can't connect through my ipad
