Hello, so my host offers free 'one click' SSL (see attach.). Don't want to mess up anything, forum works perfect as it is, should I go for it? & what forum settings \ paths etc needs to be looked into.
Got a duplicate of the live forum running on a different domain, on which I can do any initial destruction & testing :O)
Thanks for any info.
step 1 wait for 2.0.14 to be released then try playing with it.
^ will do. Thanks.
although waiting is not actually necessary.
the only issue with running 2.0.13 on SSL is that external avatars and bbc images will generate a "mixed content" warning.
add your cert
change your system URLs to https
confirm the changes in all settings (system, themes, avatars, attachments, smileys, mods)
implement the htaccess redirect to force https
If you are running prettyurls, there may be additional steps
Just an update, 2.0.14, php 7.0.15, ssl, all working perfect.
.htaccess forces www, best way to add a forced https?
Current:
Quote
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^***.net
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.***.net/$1 [R=301,L]
Thanks
This works for https + www
QuoteRewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.***\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.***.net/$1 [L,R=301]
