Hi - I've just installed ssl certificates on a couple of my sites set forced ssl in global config - just as an experiment really.

The sites are www.branchwood.co.uk and www.pro-practice.co.uk.

They're still working fine, but Firefox tells me they are not actually secure, and sent me to www.jitbit.com/sslcheck/ which analysed the site and came up with the following result:

It seems that apart from font-awesome.css at the end, all the rest are jpg files held in the zentools cache.

Is there a way to fix this, so the site does register as secure?

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

Have you changed the htaccess for this and in the template settings and forced it as ssl in the server tab > servers settings in the global config

Cheers
Paul

Hi Paul - thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I forced ssl in global config, but didn't know about htaccess and template settings.

I'm using Inspire template on one of them and had a quick look but can't see any ssl settings.

And presumably rewrite .htaccess with admin tools?

Thanks

Ian

sorry that was a typo from me

It's not template related

So you need to make changes to your htaccess about the loading of files and forcing ssl on loading of web pages

Cheers
Paul

Ah. so not simply rewriting .htaccess with admin tools then?

I see I need to add this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R,L]

Should I do anything else?

Thanks

Ian

Ah. That's worked perfectly
At first I got the can't open page, too many redirects error.
I disabled redirects, and now it's fine.
I have literally thousands of redirects in there - am I safe to leave it disabled?
I've just counted, 5740. Is it safe to trash them all? I've never deliberately used this component.
Thanks
Ian

Hmmm. It was working, but I keep getting the too many redirect error again.
I fix it by disabling .htaccess, going back in and rewriting it and everything seems fixed - until it goes wrong again.
I have deleted all redirects, and emptied the trash.
I've temporarily removed the new .htaccess code to keep the site up.
Any ideas?
Does anyone else have as many problems as me?
Thanks
Ian

Ah. I think I've fixed it.
Found SEO settings in admin tools and set convert all links to https.
Seems to have done the trick
Thanks
Ian

Cool nice one

Cheers
Paul

I'd test it using this

site:www.branchwood.co.uk

to see the urls are now loading the https version

Cheers
Paul

Thanks Paul - everything seems fine now

Ian

Nice one

Cheers
Paul

And have a great weekend

Cheers

And you

Ian

Cheers
