Wondering how to to protect your PHP source code files from being viewed by other web users? A friend sharing with me today on this Free Online PHP Encoder – FreePHPEncoder.com

I think that is useful and easy way to encrypt the PHP Source Code!  How to use it?  very simple, simply upload the file you wish to encrypt then download the encrypted copy of the file. Please feel free to try it.

1. Click the Start menu and click Administrative Tools.
2. Click the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager menu item.
3. Select the Server name that you wish to secure in the left panel.
4. Double-click the Server Certificates icon at Security category.
5. Select the certificate you wish to renew then right-click and select the Renew item in the popup menu.
6. Select the “Create a renewal certificate request” with click on radio button in the first page of the Renew an Existing Certificate wizard.
   
7. Then go to create a new text file and Specify the file name to be used to save the CSR key.
8. After done the wizards, open the generated CSR file using a plain-text editor such as Windows Notepad
9. Copy and paste the CSR key into the online certificate renewal form or give it to the SSL certificate provider, they will initiate the processing of SSL renewal request.

After received SSL Certificate from the provider, you will need to install it to the server from which the CSR key request was generated. The following is the steps for SSL Installation at Microsoft IIS7:

1. Copy or download the SSL certificate file (*.cer)  to the web server that you wish to secure.
2. Click on Start menu, then Administrative Tools, then Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
3. Click on the server name.
4. From the center menu, double-click the “Server Certificates” button in the “Security” category (near the bottom of the menu with view by group).
   
5. From the “Actions” menu (at the right panel), click on “Complete Certificate Request.” This will open the Complete Certificate Request wizard.
   
6. Browse to your *.cer file that was provided to you by SSL certificate provider.  You will then be required to enter a friendly name. The friendly name is not part of the certificate itself, but is used by the server administrator to easily distinguish the certificate.
7. Clicking “OK” will install the certificate to the server. Note: There is a known issue in IIS 7 giving the following ERROR: “Cannot find the certificate request associated with this certificate file. A certificate request must be completed on the computer where it was created.” You may also receive a message stating “ASN1 bad tag value met”. If this is the same server that you generated the CSR on then, in most cases, the certificate is actually installed.  Simply cancel the dialog and press “F5″ to refresh the list of server certificates.  If the new certificate is now in the list, you can continue with the next step. If it is not in the list, you will need to reissue your certificate using a new CSR (see our CSR creation instructions for IIS 7).  After creating a new CSR, login to your account at provider control panel and click the reissue button for your new SSL certificate.
   
8. Once the SSL certificate has been successfully installed to the server, you will need to assign that certificate to the appropriate website at IIS.

1. Click Start menu, then Administrative Tools, then Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. Click on the “Server name”.
3. From the center menu, double-click the “Server Certificates” button in the “Security“ category (it is near to the bottom of the menu if view by group).
   
4. Next, from the “Actions” menu (on the right), click on “Create Certificate Request.“  This will open the Request Certificate wizard.
   
5. In the “Distinguished Name Properties” window, enter the information as follows:
   Common Name - The name through which the certificate will be accessed (usually the fully-qualified domain name, e.g., www.domain.com or mail.domain.com).
   Organization – The legally registered name of your organization/company.
   Organizational unit – The name of your department within the organization (frequently this entry will be listed as “IT,” “Web Security,” or is simply left blank).
   City/locality – The city in which your organization is located.
   State/province – The state in which your organization is located.
   Country/region – If needed, you can find your two-digit country code in our list.
6. Click Next. In the “Cryptographic Service Provider Properties” window, leave both settings at their defaults (Microsoft RSA SChannel and 2048) and then click next.
   
7. Enter a Filename for your CSR file.

NOTE: Remember the filename that you choose and the location to which you save it. You will need to open this text file in NotePad and copy the entire body of it (including the Begin and End Certificate Request tags) when order for new SSL certificate.
