Get a DNS error connecting through SSL

[Elvar]

I installed our wildcard certificate on a new web server. For some reason I get a dns error when I connect to https, it is responding on port 443 since it works telnetting at that port.

The odd thing is that this server runs a third party software and with it came a ssl certificate for administration and when I use that for the website it works, no dns errors. The administration website is on another port so there is no conflict there I think.

Anyone have any ideas?

If you are running Telnet on 443 then you can't also run SSL on it.

no I mean that when I telnet to port 443 I get a response, so the IIS is listening

if I remove the ssl connection, disable the website or whatever I get can not find server

Try using a browser other than Internet Explorer. Even with friendly HTTP errors disabled, the errors are pretty useless. I'm not saying that it will work with another browser, I'm just saying that you'll get a better indication of why it failed.
