    Default SSL error in IE

    I have SSL set up as per instructions. Everything works OK in Firefox anf SeaMonkey. However, when I go to login page in IE, I get this:
    There is a problem with this website's security certificate.


    The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address.

    Security certificate problems may indicate an attempt to fool you or intercept any data you send to the server.
    We recommend that you close this webpage and do not continue to this website.
    Click here to close this webpage.
    Continue to this website (not recommended).
    More information


    If you arrived at this page by clicking a link, check the website address in the address bar to be sure that it is the address you were expecting.
    When going to a website with an address such as https://example.com, try adding the 'www' to the address, https://www.example.com.
    If you choose to ignore this error and continue, do not enter private information into the website.

    For more information, see "Certificate Errors" in Internet Explorer Help.
    I have no idea how to proceed. I have been in touch with ISP, who installed SSL certificate, and they can see no issue.

    The URL with the problem?

    I have taken the SSL out of config as I need the site login functioning. I see there is a problem created by absolute URL's for images. I have one in the header. Would this be likely to stop IE and not Mozilla?

    4u2hire.com.au - works OK in Mozilla, not in IE. ISP found some sort of conflict with .htaccess, but I can't do without that. I have tried inserting 'www' in configure.php where appropriate, but makes no difference. I have an absolute URL in the header - will this create problems for IE?

    Two things:

    1. You need to use the www. in all your SSL URLs.

    2. You need to change your hardcoded non-SSL elements to either use relative paths or be SSL links instead.

    Wonderful. Thanks for that - I'll work through it. There was some behaviour that suggested that it was a problem with images - after I told it to go ahead to the page anyway.

    Yes, that FAQ link will help you identify which images.
    Just remove the website address unless it's needed. Use only the path information, to make the references relative ... making them universal regardless of SSL mode.
