links go to http instead of https (page not found)

Yes, my host does have a 2 folder system. Ack! What can I do?

Thanks for your help!

Well, you can tell your hosts to go back to the Plesk server setup screens, and tell them that this time they should tick the box that aliases the httpsdocs folder to the httpdocs folder.

Alternatively, you can keep a complete copy of all files/folders in the httpsdocs folder, and keep another copy, but minus the 'admin' folder, in the httpdocs folder.

Ah, thank you! Can I just copy the folders from https to http or do a fresh installation of everything onto http?

Given that the site is at the moment only available on https:// I'd suggest copying the httpsdocs folder to http docs (minus the admin folder which would then only be available via https://).

Thanks for all the help Vger!

I've copied everything but am now getting errors on every page. Variations of: "open_basedir restriction in effect" (ex. http://www.reelasian.com/boxoffice/)

When I'm in the admin area, every link tries to move me from https to http (causing errors).

Not sure what to try next.

Okay, when hosts use PHP in Safe Mode that can mean very little inconvenience, or it can mean that they make it impossible for you to run a dynamic php based website.

When the latter happens it is usually because they don't know what they are doing, and apply restrictions to every single folder. This looks to be the case wih your site.

It's my view that your only real choice is to move hosts.

Unfortunately moving to a new host isn't possible but I've put in a request to the host to make the settings change with regards to the https & http folder aliasing. Are there other things I could ask for that would help (stop running in safe mode)?

Cheers!
