SSL on a Virtual Server

[broche]

Trying to get SSL to work and failing miserably.
NT 8.16
Cl 9.0

See the following evenjt in the application log on the server
Activation context generation failed for "C:\WebPortal\libssl32.dll". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.CRT,processorArchitecture="x86",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type="win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.

Any ideas?

I know the port is open as it works when not compiled with SSL on

have you copied in all the ssl dependent files? from memory there are 4 and the names are in the docs,

>> See the following event in the application log on the server

what makes you think your program is generating this event? I suspect it's from something else.

your program needs the SSL DLL's and certificates and it should work ok.

cheers

OK - Thanks - All DLL's are present and I think I am doing it correctly.  This is driving me nuts.

The only way to successfully load a sxs assembly at run time is to create an activation context.  So it makes sense that the error is thrown by libssl32.dll.  I'd try installing the MS VC++ 2008 Redistributable on the server.

Thanks Larry, that was it - I still have the chain issue in Firefox but at least I am communicating.

Update - Switched from Comodo to Digicert - Very good help and they helped resolve the chain issue and all works well except for the download timeout in SSL which Bruce is helping with.

Thanks all.
