That's probably happening because you used a self-signed certificate. (If you click on the icon in the browser window that is labeling the URL as insecure, the browser should be able to tell you why it thinks it is insecure.)

Under many circumstances, self-signed certs are insecure. For example ... if some random person sent you that URL in an email. Your browser is just being conservative. And rightly so. It has no way of knowing who really signed the cert ... and whether the user is likely to be doing something unsafe by connecting to it.

If you want other people to trust your site ... and not have it show up as "insecure", you need to invest in a proper domain name and a proper SSL certificate for that domain.
