Question

I believe I’ve got this setup correctly for the most part but I’m having trouble getting my site to pick up the ssl certificate that I created with OpenSSL.

I’ve install my ruby version with rvm using with openssl option to set the openssl path:

rvm install 1.9.3 --with-openssl-dir=$HOME/.rvm/usr

Then I followed these instructions: http://www.akadia.com/services/ssh_test_certificate.html

Step 5 was different because I copied the key and cert files to the openssl domain in the .rvm directory.

I then set config.force_ssl to true in my production.rb file.

I set my hosting to enable ssl as well.

Finally I restarted the server. I’m able to go to https://mysite.com but I warns me that the site has insecure content.

Not sure what to do from here. Any help or direction would be great.

Your CDN can usually point you to the correct solution, but it would generally involve calling your resources with https rather than http. If the hostname for your CDN is set somewhere in the rails options, you can often just prepend https:// to make it work
