I'm running IIS 7 on a fresh install of Windows Server 2008 R2.<br />
<br />
I've setup numerous sites in IIS (all except one are non-SSL/HTTPS). I configured one of the sites with the appropriate certificate and SSL, including a unique IP address only for that site, and selected it in the binding for HTTPS for that site.<br />
<br />
However, when I try to hit the site via HTTPS, I get the following error:<br />
<br />
Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET<wbr />): The connection was reset.<br />
<br />
No problems hitting via HTTP, only HTTPS.<br />
<br />
Has anyone experienced this and been able to resolve?<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Error after configuring SSL for specific website in IIS 7

Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2, based on the Microsoft Vista codebase, is the last 32-bit server operating system released by Microsoft. It has a number of versions, including including Foundation, Standard, Enterprise, Datacenter, Web, HPC Server, Itanium and Storage; new features included server core installation and Hyper-V.

Windows Server 2008

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

HTTPS is a protocol for secure communication over a computer network which is widely used on the Internet. HTTPS consists of communication over Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) within a connection encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) or its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The main motivation for HTTPS is authentication of the visited website and to protect the privacy and integrity of the exchanged data. HTTPS is widely used for protecting page authenticity on all types of websites, securing accounts and keeping user communications, identity and web browsing private.
