Help! Frontpage and HTTPS problem.

ynned · 08-25-2005, 08:43 AM

I have a problem that nobody seems to be able to help with, but maybe this forum is different. Here's the thing... I have a dedicated IP and an SSL cert that i purchased. All of that works fine. The problem is that my forms, which work fine as HTTP, don't work as HTTPS. I get this error:

FrontPage Error.
User: please report details to this site's webmaster.

Webmaster: please see the server's system log for more details

What is the fix to this problem? Surely I'm not the first person to encounter this. Thanks in advance.

I'm just guessing, but it could be something the server owner has to configure in order for the https to work...

HTTPS runs on port 443 rather than the standard port 80 so it needs to be set up correctly by your host

Hmmm... try reconfigureing everthing.

Update: Well, it turns out that FrontPage forms simply don't work on HTTPS pages. The solution was basically creating a whole new form using Dreamweaver. Thanks for the responses, though.
