I am working on Windows Server 2003 (IIS6), which has two asp.net sites running in seperate app pools. One of the sites has an ssl certificate installed and was running fine on https. The other site has no certificate and does not require https
The problem I have is that when I publish my app from vs2005 to the site with ssl the https urls stop working and I can only use http. The error I get is as follows
From Google Chrome: Error 104 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_FAILED): The attempt to connect to the server failed.
From IE7: Internet explorer cannot display the web page, could be unavailable, dns is not reachable etc
The strange thing is the first time this happened, https eventually became available but I don’t know what triggered the availability but when I published an updated assembly to the bin folder of the site which does not require https, the OTHER site became unavailable on https again
Help much appreciated!
UPDATED: Thanks for the suggestions but it turns out that the firewall was not open on the ssl port
Check if the firewall port for SSL (443) wasn’t accidentally closed 443. 😉
