    Hi guys, Bit of a technical question, so not sure if anyone will know how to help! But, just changed one of my sites over to my VPS server, and reinstalled my SSL certificate, but im having a few issues.

    All seems to be working fine in Chrome, Safari, and Firefoz, but it is throwing up an error in Internet Explorer.

    The certificate when looking through chrome, safari, and firefox is the certificate i have installed (issued to my domain) but it is showing a totally different certificate when viewed in Interent Explorer (i think it is using the one which secures the server plesk admin panel?)

    Does anyone know whats causing this?

    Site working great in chrome:

    Not so good in IE:

    Would appreciate any help!

    Thanks folks!

    The certificate seems ok here - did you manually install the Parallels one for your web address in IE before setting up the proper SSL certificate?

    The other thing to try is deleteing your browsing history in IE:

    Tools>Delete Browsing History and make sure at least "temporary internet files" is ticked.

    the command to restart a web server on most linux boxes is:

    Code: 
    /etc/init.d/httpd restart

    But as you rebooted the box, it will have done this anyway.

    Hi, thanks for the reply.

    Yes, I have cleared my history and that in IE, but it is still the same this end. As I say, it's fine in all the other browsers.

    Ive just had a customer email me a snotty email as well, saying that the site isn't secure, so I assume they must be using IE.

    I've just restarted the server again via SSH command, but still the same.

    Did you test it in IE?

    Thanks for your help :)

    You have a self signed cert installed on the website not the RapidSSL certificate. There also seems to be something screwy with your DNS zones not returning any authoritative name servers.

    Check dns is pointing where it should and that you have no local cache of dns or files on your computer.

    Then try re-installing the RapidSSL cert.

    It's very odd that IE9, Firefox and Chrome show the correct certificate but linux shows the Parallels certificate:

    :~#openssl s_client -showcerts -connect www.finest-filters.co.uk:443
    CONNECTED(00000003)
    depth=0 /C=US/ST=Virginia/L=Herndon/O=Parallels/OU=Parallels Panel/CN=Parallels Panel/[email protected]
    verify error:num=18:self signed certificate
    verify return:1
