Facebook and https

[codetive]

hi everybody,

I have a problem doing new apps in facebook. My problem is that I used to do apps for facebook and
they worked perfectly, but now (since first of october) they require https connection.

What is the easiest way to get my server to work with this? I'm very noobie what comes to the servers, so any help is welcome.

I have the most basic hosting on WHB. Do I need better?


Thanks in advance --

Could you clarify how exactly you are connecting your apps from our server to FB? The more details the better..

On the page where You set the 'App on Facebook' and the parameters 'Canvas URL' and 'Secure Canvas URL' the secure canvas requires https address. But when I give it a https starting address like https://codetive.com the facebook only shows me some SSL connection error.

You need an SSL certificate for https://codetive.com and a dedicated IP address to install the certificate.

We can offer Comodo Positive SSL Certificate at $12.95/year plus $20.00/year for the dedicated IP. You can also purchase the certificate from a third party vendor. In that case you need to pay us only a standard price of $30.00 for the dedicated IP. Open a ticket to billing at https://whbsupport.com to proceed.

Remember we have a list of restrictions on shared server to prevent it from getting overloaded:
WebHostingBuzz: Hosting Services Acceptable Usage Policy

If you're going to run a popular app on our servers, you may need to upgrade to a VPS or a dedicated server:
VPS Hosting from WebHostingBuzz™. Find out why we're the best place for a Virtual Private Server! Linux VPS, OpenVZ VPS and Xen VPS are available
Dedicated Servers: Linux Dedicated Servers, Managed Dedicated Server Hosting by WebHostingBuzz™

so it would be like extra $33/year to get it work?

I only do little development work and startups. If some of my projects flies,
I can assure You that I'll get the biggest server You got with all the bells and whistles ;D

And thanks for the info!



Cheers--

Right. It's $32.95/year for IP and SSL with Hosting Basic.

Good luck with your projects
