We have a site supposed to be having the same code but more content in TEST than DEV. We are getting mixed mode messages (IE6, 7, 8) to access few pages in DEV but the same site works just fine in TEST. How can I troubleshoot this further. What are the obvious places I should check for differences in the two MOSS sites? Can it even be a MOSS issue? I am playing with fiddler to troubleshoot, but don't know what I am looking for specifically.

If dev and test are different farms, the spsreports creates several files you can compare. Get the tool from http://spsreport.codeplex.com/ run it on similar servers( same role) in each of the two farms. The output, when uncompressed, will contain several files which can be windiffed such as <servername>_WSEVer.txt,<servername>_mossver.txt,<servername>_metasnap.txt and <servername>_gacver.txt. Compare your web.config files too. I'm not sure what's meant by 'mixed mode messages'. Get the exact error messages you receive when browsing the site. You may also want to see if Internet Explorer forusm can expand on the issue you're seeing! Also you can try running windiff against the 12\template folders as well. Thanks!

Thanks Tracyp. By mixed mode message, I mean when I click on certain links, I get the IE (both 6 and 8) pop up warning that says (I am providing IE 8 message only): "Do you want to view web page content that was deliverd securely? The webpage conaints content that will be not be delivered using a secure HTTPS connection, which could compromise on the security of the entire webpage." Its a https website, so I don't know why this message will appear if everything is encrypted. We have another environment which we believe has the same set of wsps deployed (content is different, but more though). When I access that environment, I do not get this warning message. I will investigate the environment comparison tools you suggested further. Thanks Soumya

Hi Soumya, We can try to turn the message off through Internet Explorer. You should be able to see it in the Internet Options Security, so: Tools > Internet Options > Security tab > now click the Custom Level button and scroll through the entries until you find > Miscellaneous > Display mixed content. You can sometimes see files in tools like Fiddler, that aren't being loaded via https. Look at the URLs for items that are uploaded or downloaded and keep in mind it can be anything from .js to .pngs. I don't suppose you're doing anything with SSL Termination or Link Translation, are you? Thanks, Tracy
