action-reaction Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hello,Since the 4.0, is it possible to run the entire board, including pages, gallery etc... under SSL (not only the admin). If yes, how to do that, please ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim M Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Yes.You will need to set your main URL as https://yourdomain.com, set all your storage settings so that the URL uses ambiguous protocol (for good measure) e.g. //yourdomain.com/uploads and finally add a .htaccess so that you redirect http requests to https.If you already have your forum setup on 4.0, you'll need to run our URL changer to tool: http://community.invisionpower.com/4docs/system-management/change-your-url-r96/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
action-reaction Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hello Jim M, thank you for your reply. In fact, I'm creating a totally new website, I have deleted the old one and the new one will begin from zero. So it will be simple to set up, I think.Precisely, when the board is uploaded (with css, the gallery and IP.dowload), and the setting completed. What do I do ?1) You will need to set your main URL as https://yourdomain.comI change the main URL in the initdata.php ? (or conf_global.php I don't remember).2) set all your storage settings so that the URL uses ambiguous protocol (for good measure) e.g. //yourdomain.com/uploadsI don't understand that. Is it something to do in the admin, or in the FTP ?3) finally add a .htaccess so that you redirect http requests to https.Do I need to do that, since the website is now empty ? 4) If you already have your forum setup on 4.0, you'll need to run our URL changer to tool: http://community.invisionpower.com/4docs/system-management/change-your-url-r96/ Same question.

DesignzShop Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 @Jim MThis tool is not available anymore from the url you left. Do we need to still run this tool?Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim M Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 @Jim MThis tool is not available anymore from the url you left. Do we need to still run this tool?Thank YouNo. As of 4.0.5, there have been significant changes to the storage architecture that makes the linked tool obsolete.

DesignzShop Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I would assume then that all we need to do is change config_global to https in the site url however, I see now a secure site reading non-secure. Am I missing a setting somewhere. Pretty slick so far how easy that was though.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesignzShop Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Ahhh, the issue seems ot be with css/themes, doesn't do this in default ipb skin. Maybe a bug? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-FP Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Use the support tool in the ACP to drop the cache after changing it to https:// in conf_global.php.My site is running entirely as https and so far so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesignzShop Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Certainly did work.. Thank you. On a side note I wonder if we need to change our site license url with ipb to https? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
