http to https

[Ioannis D]

Hi,

My hosting provider setup a new SSL for my domain and I want to change the http to https on my community. Does anyone knows what steps must do to have https?

.htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

I forgot to say that I'm on NGiNX and the rewrites for SSL are allready in my config file. From the part of IPS files - configuration is anything that I must change?

I edited the conf_global.php and changed the url from http to https, only that. Is anything else that I have to do?

I'm interested in this topic too, Joe, can you please post here what you put in your nginx config file?

Double check you're not using a custom URL for your storage configuration in the ACP and you should be all set.

Actually my hosting provider set it up, I am on a shared server but, for NGiNX I think you must upload your certificate files ( .crt .csr .key ) to /nginx/conf/ssl/yourdomain folder. I saw an example here

I'm not using any custom URL, for the moment everything looks OK. Thanks!

I'm very intersted in this topic too as I've just moved our site to https.

I changed the Board URL in the conf_global.php file but I can't figure out how to serve the files from the /upload/ folder from https. All of the /upload/ folder files (such as the profile images) are still being served from http.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks
