Please Warriors, I'm facing a debacle right now because the first app I tried to create on Facebook keeps bringing up this error and there's no trick I haven't tried but it still persists. Any help will be greatly appreciated.



Thank you.


Secure Connection Failed
An error occurred during a connection to www.websitename.com.
SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.
(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

      This usually means the implementation of SSL on your server is not correct. The error is usually caused by a server side problem which the server administrator will need to investigate.

      Read here the recommendations for the the server administrator:
      configuration - ssl_error_rx_record_too_long and Apache SSL - Stack Overflow

        Thanks a ton. I'm all over it now. Anyone else with more useful tips???:rolleyes:

        Everything there's technical. I got confused when I got to a stage, I didn't know what to do. Isn't there a simpler version to this?

          Not really, its a technical problem. Fastest way is to contact your hosting provider or technical man with the error and possible solution I provided.

      Good question, I don't know :confused:

      Normally you have to pay for a SSL certificate, maybe thats the key to this problem. I know Facebook requires a SSL connection and i used a paid SSL certificate for that.

        Please, can you let me in on the paid SSL certificate you use on your site? Which company provides this service and details???

    Oh...I guess I won't be using FB apps for some time to come...cos it seems I can't find an alternative cos I can't afford a paid service right now. Thanks for the tips...pretty much 'ppreciate it.
