I have the pem file installed in a html directory and despite all the files being in the html directory with the pem file, I still get the SSL warning from browsers saying "this plage includes other resources which are not secure" but I don't have any other resources. All the files are inside HTML, including images. What is causing that error to be displayed?

Also, it's not a problem on IE or Firefox. Just Chrome displayed saying it's not secure.

UPDATE: it's apparently the Google Chrome bug. I restarted the browser and it now displayed the correct SSL logo.

Why is your PEM file in the html directory? It's not wrong as such, but this has nothing to do with the content to serve, rather it is a matter of TLS/SSL stack configuration (part of the server configuration, which will depend on the server you use). – Bruno Sep 14 '10 at 14:02
Where is the best place for pem to be placed? I always thought it has to be in the same folder where the files are being accessed. – netrox Sep 14 '10 at 19:45

Please put your update as an answer and accept it as correct :)

Besides the bug you answered with, the other time that happens is when accessing content within the page not using HTTPS. The warning isn't about the location of the files on the server. Only put files you want web-accessible in the directory; that includes your certificates.

For example, if you access a page using https:// but in your HTML you have img tags with a src using http:// (src="http://") then you'll get that mixed content warning.
