Does anyone have any experience with asp.net pages and ssl? The hosting company im using uses a shared ssl certificate (which should meet my needs).

I need to run one page on an ssl connection. Im getting a broken page https://tucano.eukhost.com/addanevent-com/test.aspx tho. Ive set in my webconfig to try work out whats going on, but no good.

The test.aspx page is just a standard "hello world" page with no partial class. A standard html page does work tho. https://tucano.eukhost.com/addanevent-com/test.htm

Any ideas? The support is giving me the run around.

I don't think you configure ssl in your web.config (unless its for formsauthentication stuff).

Its mainly done in the web application settings in IIS in the Security tab. Never used a shared certificate thou, just local certificate server.

Hope this helps - http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms996415.aspx

SSL seems to be working fine on that URL to me (https://tucano.eukhost.com/addanevent-com/test.aspx)

to me it looks like the error is purely application related, not SSL configuration-related

I second jims comment becuase http://tucano.eukhost.com/addanevent-com/test.aspx (ie. not ssl) is equally f***ed

the page works over http tho.

hmm doesn't for me, or obes either - I get the same asp.net application error whether it's over ssl or not

have you edited your web.config to reflect the settings shown in the error page so that it prints out some useful info to you instead of just those suggestions?

nope that one's not broken, but that's a new URL you never mentioned before

the links you'd provided earlier yield exactly the same error whether they are viewed via ssl or not

this new link you've pasted works fine via http, but when you try and view it via SSL, you get a cert error (expected since the cert is for tukano.eukhost.com not www.addanevent.com) but then the vhost that's configured with SSL, doesn't have test.aspx in it's document root so you get a 404

and yeah, ive got (show errors)

what error text do you see? all we see is this:

The ssl is working as expected. (Certificate errors are to be expected when the hosts don't match)
You have issues with your aspx.

Can I suggest a very simple aspx, and get rid of your config.web ?
eg.

<%@Page Language="C#" Trace="true" %>
<%@Import Namespace="System" %>
<%@Import Namespace="System.Web" %>
<%
String szMsg = String.Copy("Hello World");

Response.Write("<html><body>" + szMsg +
"</body></html>");
Trace.Write("hello.aspx", "Exiting hello.aspx");
%>

Then test that via https and http ?

If that works its probably a problem with your config.web and your "secureWebPages" section. That said I don't code asp .net ... and as such could be miles off the goal posts.

yeah jim, thats the error i see too.

sorry guys, didnt explain something too well. the site is www.addaevent.com and i have a "hello world" page (like yours obes) at http://www.addanevent.com/test.aspx

because its a shared ssl, the host says i have to use https://tucano.eukhost.com/addanevent-com/test.aspx but like you guys have spotted, that non ssl page their is broken too. ill ask the host again.
