They broke my site!

Ahh, progress. I migrated to a new server and the entry page is broken because I'm using legacy code. At least you can still get lower level pages.

Unfortunately, I'm reaching my level of web incompetence.

Any prognosis for the website? I'm still getting the following error message when trying to access the site.
This site can’t provide a secure connectionwww.erareplicas.com sent an invalid response.
Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.
ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR

I'm working on getting a SSL certificate.

Ironically, I tried to get one about 6 months ago and web.com (the company server where the site is parked) told me that the server didn't support SSL. Web.com just migrated the site to a new server (without warning me). Hopefully, the new SSL certificate can be applied today, since they've already got my money.

This is an area of expertise that I never wanted to be in...

No, give up and hire a professional. I would hire ERA to build many things, but a web site ain't one of them.

The ERA site is still down.

Next step Bob is to put you on a performance improvement plan....

Patiently waiting for Bob to get the site fixed. Just sent my money to Peter P. for new ERA Slabside Cobra. NOW THE WAIT!

Bob any luck with the site? I can get to main ERA page but can't open anything else.as of 4/23/2022

After many unsuccessful attempts by me, I've hired a pro. Hopefully they can get things straightened out. As of Friday, I believe that they were waiting for a response from whoever does the SSL validations.

Thank you! Good Luck!

Bob,

If your current hosting firm does not support SSL certs you should be looking for a new one. SSL certs are ancient history in terms of when they began being supported by hosting firms.

I hate to be a PITA about this, but if I were a shareholder (which I kind of view myself as being, of a sorts at least) I would really like to see the ERA site get fixed. Why is it taking this long?

Bob,

If you don't mind, who is hosting your site and what software are you running?

I spent an hour talking to a web.com tech on Monday night and we (she) figured out the problem (I hope). As we speak, the site is being migrated to a server that supports SSL. I thought that had already been done before the error messages started coming in, but I was mistaken. Things should be fixed soon. (I hope #2)

65snake · #18 (**permalink**) 05-23-2022, 05:25 PM

Still not fixed. Have they figured out what is wrong yet?

Yes. After studying the problem for two months now, they have determined that something is wrong and, most likely, broken.

strictlypersonl · #20 (**permalink**) 05-24-2022, 05:02 AM

Twice in the past week I have spoken to a tech. Each time they assured me that the site would be fixed. The first, in "24-48 hours". Nope. The second in "24 hours". I gave them extra days each time. Each phone "process" takes more than an hour. I'm going to try once more. After that, it's a new provider. I've been with these guys for 2 decades, but this is beyond poor.
