how to i move my site from http to https and configure the SSL please reply its urgent. waiting

Install the certificate onto your IIS instance. Bind it to the web application you want to secure and ensure port 443 is entered in the SSL port box. (if you need a step by step on configuring the SSL in IIS let me know) Open Central Administration Select Operations, Select Alternate Access Mappings Now select Edit Public URL's Select the site you have put the certificate against in IIS from the Alternate Access Mapping Collection Enter the address with https://... into the Public URL field. Click Save Without creating the AAMeverytime you go to the SSL address it will redirect back to http

I am also having an issue with adding and SSL cert to an existing site. I am also using a hostname vs the server name for the URL. Here is what I have done so far: - Local MS DNS Entry (spsite.abccorp.com) point to the IP address of the SP server. - ensured the port 80 and 443 boxes are filled in in IIS for the "Sharepoint - 80" site. - Added Certificate to that IIS site, but did not make SSL required (so I could try both http and https without it barking). -Under the Alternate Access Mapping Section of SP, I changed the URL from http://spsite.abccorp.com to https://spsite.abccorp.com for the "Sharepoint - 80" Collection. I even tried just added the https url to the "Custom" area vs the "Default" After I have done all this, I get "Page Can Not Be Displayed" when going to the HTTPS site but works fine for the HTTP. Any suggestions?

In IIShave bound SSL to any specific IP address? or is it just "Default" - if it is do you have any other SSL's on this IIS instance that could be hijacking the traffic? You could try setting the IP of it to the IP yo usepecified of your SP server and ensure there isnt another SSL that could possibly be taking traffic. You dont have anything blocking port 443? Everything else you have done should work.
