During development and testing phases of the web development projects, one might need to direct a certain domain to a new IP address without making a global DNS change. Enter the HOSTS file! Simply add the following line to that file (using your own IP and DOMAIN) 192.168.0.1 www.yourdomain.com and voila… the domain now points to the new server. Obviously this only affects your local machine. Here are the locations of the HOSTS file on various operating systems: Windows 95/98/Me – c:\windows\hosts Windows NT/2000/XP Pro – c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Windows XP Home / Windows 7 / Windows 10 – c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts On Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 10 it gets a bit tricky… By default, if you try to modify your hosts file in Windows 10, it will not let you save it. It tells you that you don’t have permission. To successfully modify the hosts file, run notepad.exe as an administrator and open the file. Browse to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories Right click “Notepad” and select “Run as administrator” Click “Continue” on the UAC prompt Click File -> Open Browse to “C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc” Change the file filter drop down box from “Text Documents (*.txt)” to “All Files (*.*)” Select “hosts” and click “Open” Make the needed changes and close Notepad. Save when...

Recently we have moved some of our clients websites to a new server. We have properly configured SSL Certs according to the instructions from GoDaddy.com. During testing we have discovered that the secure portions of the sites were generating an error when accessed with FireFox. The popup error alerted users that the SSL certificates authenticity can not be verified… Unable to verify the identity of DomainName.com as a trusted site Solution: There is an error in Godaddy instructions that prevent the certificate from properly installing. Here are the instructions as found on GoDaddy’s website: Installing Intermediate Certificate Bundle (gd_iis_intermediates.p7b): Select Run from the start menu; then type mmc to start the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). In the Management Console, select File; then “Add/Remove Snap In.” In the Add/Remove Snap-In dialog, select Add. In the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog, choose Certificates; then click the Add button. Choose Computer Account; then click Next and Finish. Close the Add Standalone Snap-in dialog and click OK on the Add/Remove Snap-in dialog to return to the main MMC window. If necessary, click the + icon to expand the Certificates folder so that the Intermediate Certification Authorities folder is visible. Right-click on Intermediate Certification Authorities and choose All Tasks; then click Import. Follow the wizard prompts to complete the installation procedure. Click Browse to locate the certificate file (gd_iis_intermediates.p7b). Choose Place all certificates in the following store; then use the Browse function to locate Intermediate Certification Authorities. Click Next. Click Finish. The step #8 talks about right clicking on “Intermediate Certification Authorities” folder. Although following these instructions results in “successful import” message, the installation fails. To correct this, instead of step 8 try the following: Click the + icon to expand the contents of the Intermediate Certification Authorities folder. Right-click on Certificates folder and choose All Tasks; then click Import. Proceed with Step 9 in the instructions above. After you are done, you may want to restart IIS. To do it go to Start > Run type in CMD + enter to launch the command prompt. Type in iisreset and hit enter. Hope this...
