SSL Certificate Expired

8 years 3 months ago

The SSL cert for our site bedfordtoastmasters.com has been expired for a while.

Additionally, We've been getting the following error message for some months now:

You have errors in your form below. Please scroll down and correct the following:
1.Basic Settings Tab - This domain is not yet pointing to the IP address 50.19.253.65. In your domain registrar's DNS area, modify the exisitng "A" and "MX" records for this domain, to point to 50.19.253.65, wait the amount of time as specified by your domain host, then try again.


This is preventing us from making any changes to any of our pages. That message doesn't make sense because if we were to do as it says, then our site (bedfordtoastmasters.com) would point to 50.19.253.65 which is toastmastersclubs.org IP address! Maybe I'm just not understanding this.

Please help!

Thank you.

The error message is correct.

FTH does not support domain forwarding you need to setup the domain as per our instructions.

We will not create or renew SSL certs for domains that are set up via domain forwarding.

Thank you Brian!
I'm looking over the documentation you pointed me to and will work with GoDaddy.com to make the proper modifications. I've recently taken over our site and don't know the history behind it and need to find out who has the access to the GoDaddy account where our domain is registered under.

Will you be able to create SSL cert for our site once I'm able to modify the DNS A records to point to the proper FTH IP Address?

Thank you again,
-Bernie

If you properly follow the directions for setting up a custom domain, when you enter the domain in the admin console, the SSL cert should get created automatically.
