i uploaded secure pages module to the modules dir as usual.
after i ticked enable then submit the page started to load then stopped saying "the connection has stopped unexpectedly, some data may have been transfered"

i get this error while accessing all /admin pages.

so then i just deleted the module and its working back to normal again

im using drupal 5.1

how do i make it work?

As soon as you enable the module, the first thing that will happen is you'll be redirected to the https:// address, since you are in /admin/modules, and /admin/* pages are included in the default list of paths to secure.

Have you verified that your server has SSL running? i.e, can you connect to your site at https:// ? It sounds like that might be the problem.

Hi!

I've had absolutly the same problem. The server brings back: "server has set an incorrect ot unexpected message. Error code: -12263." First Ive had made mistake - I have forgotten to make me sertificates, but after I did it and put them on the server the same error occured when I try to activate the tool. Ive written an e-mail to my administrators, because I don't have a directly access to the apache, but through cPanel. They use the standard port 443 for https, so the problem is not there and I suppose that there is a bug in the extension's code.
Ill give you here more information about the server and hope, it helps to find and solve the problem...:
Apache version is 1.3.37
PHP version is 4.4.4
The server is running on a GNU/Linux OS.

When you need more information - just ask me any questions. I won't login on my drupal system, if there is no secured login, so this extension is essentual to me.

Best regards!

Version: 5.x-1.1 » 5.x-1.3

I got the same error with Drupal 5.3 / securepages 1.3
Found the partial answer in this thread - thanks.
After I setup ssl I'll try it again.

Is it too much to ask to get a simple README.txt included with this module saying what needs to be done to install it? Some documentation saying how it works, e.g. that it automatically secures all /admin pages, would be useful too.

Yes. I don't like the clear-text logins either, so I searched and found this module. I downloaded it and can't find any instructions though.

Do I need to buy a certificate? ... What do I need to do to get it working?

Any major snags? Like, if you get an unsigned cert your users will have to okay the "cert unsigned" message?

Does the latest version include the session hi-jacking solution?

It looks like exactly what I want, but don't know if it's going to take me an hour or a week.

Thanks, I do appreciate your coding. I really DO think there should be some sort of by-module threads or forum categories, or something. I'm sure appreciative users would fill in the last mile of documentation, and help more with questions if they were all in one place.
