SSL Certificate Error

I get SSL errors on Freshwater Aquarium Shrimp | TheShrimpFarm. I contacted HostGator, and they say that they do not get the same issues when they try. I get the error in IE. For example when viewing just the logo: https://www.theshrimpfarm.com/images/logo.jpg I get the security error.

Do you get this error? In IE?

Any suggestions how I need to fix this?

No, I don’t get an error on the logo URL, even in IE.

What kind of error are you getting? Could it be that you have not updated your computer recently and so your CA certificate store is out of date?
I see that the certificate chain is incomplete (missing) for your website. Here is the full analysis:

You need to add “Rapid SSL CA” certificate to your chain.

I run my long time unpatched FireFox and it gave me this error:

Freshwater Aquarium Shrimp | TheShrimpFarm uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because no issuer chain was provided.

(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

So I am fairly certain that fixing certificate chain will make it work even on older browsers, since the root certificate is long time since valid (and would be found in almost every browsers CA store) as opposed to “Rapid SSL CA” intermediate certificate, which is relatively recent (Valid from Sat Feb 20 00:45:05 EET 2010) and might not yet be redistributed to browsers (which would be unnecessary to begin with if only everybody configured their servers properly :wink: )

Hi,

I get an error on the home page with both IE and Chrome.
Seems that you have resources in this page that are not secured. Make sure all resources are embedded using SSL (HTTPS) and not plain HTTP. Otherwise, browsers will show you an error.

I dont get an error on the logo. It could be that your browser is not updated or that you are using a weak cipher. As Aleksejs suggested, you should look at the specific error generated. In IE9 you should see and error on screen, in Chrome, click on the red icon next to the URL.

Yes - there is SSL error due to “mixed content” as well.
