I have installed SSL on a server. When I try links using https they work, but I don't see a lock. Any suggestion on the issue?

You said you're using Firefox. Right click on the page, and select View Page Info. Then click on security. What is the output?

I also like to use the OpenSSL command line to check my SSL servers:

openssl s_client -connect example.com:443

Steven , when i do view page info , i see that a certificate is there . But when i run openssl command then i get return code :21 unable to verify first certificate.

That error can be ignored because OpenSSL can't verify the certificate unless you specify a root store. If OpenSSL can see the certificate, it should be installed. Do you see a lock icon with an slash through it? This indicates that an image or script is being loaded from http instead of https. – Robert Feb 16 '11 at 16:18
i can see the lock when i use the domain name instead of ip address. – Aditya Shukla Feb 16 '11 at 16:21
