SSL - Site and HTTP Site

[frank18]

I had the same problem, until my server host told me about the .htaccess file I had to create.....

There is no .htaccess file to create if all is done correctly and "by the book"

If the certificate was registered and installed for https://www.your_site.com then it will not work if your configuration is set for https://your_site.com (no www)

# An easy to way to always redirect the user to secure connection (https://) can be accomplished with the following lines:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://shop.chicriders.com/$1 [R,L]

I made it as a .txt file uploaded on my server than changed the name to .htaccess


without doing that..

it wouldn't keep the website in https


you could link it https://shop.chicriders.com

but as soon as I clicked on another link it would take me out of http.
my server host are the ones that told me that it has to do with the .htaccess

[ChicRiders]

but now you can't submit and text input ie: registering a new account. or sending an email from the account... cause of the unsecured warning it gives you when you click submit or send.

I saw the includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files

changed the false to true.. reloaded the php file..

the admin is now fixed

but the includes/configure.php didn't make a difference

?

Nevermind..

I just deleted the htaccess

and kept the changed php files.

everything works now.. it's http on all accept on the needed https links..

lol

man I do not miss coding/web designing!!!

thank you ... if it weren't for you pointing me to not needing the .htaccess

I wouldn't have known any better!

OK I just tried
// Define the webserver and path parameters
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

But it didn't work(used the actual name)

would it be jecphoto... or jecphoto/mystore for the https server?

Also where do I set the home link button so that if anyone clicked it they would be redirected to the secure site.

Is there anyway you can just hide the http one altogether or eliminate it so only the ssl site is available?

Thanks
