Square Wheels Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I have a sub-domain on my site where I process payments. Now Google is telling me that me that because the other pages on my site (they listed several forum pages) are not https the secure section of the site will be flagged as insecure. I'm happy to buy a new certificate and install it on the forum section. How to I switch the site from http to https? Thanks (hopefully it's painfully obvious I hardly know what I am talking about) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesignzShop Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Other than this you can opt to run full https throughout your site. You will need to adjust your htaccess Or as ABGenc in that same post Quote Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) · @sadams101 I have switched one of my sites to https and did not do any changes to .htacess file. I have only changed site base url to https in conf_global.php and it was all done automatically Edited December 31, 2016 by ABGenc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Wheels Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Wow, thank you. This actually looks pretty easy. I don't want any of the people processing payments to think the site is not secure. The example links google gave were of simple posts and they said these would trigger warning in Google Chrome 56. I'll have the certificate installed soon and change the whole site over, it actually looks pretty simple. I don't have anything in htaccess (should I?), so I don't have to worry about that. The ads I serve are through a custom script, so that's all set too. Update: I need to see if I can run multiple certificates. Anyhow, it should be fixed soon. Thanks!

Rhett Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 There is no need to adjust the htacces, just to clarify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhett Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Just now, DesignzShop said: Even under using pages/custom index.html/php as default application and entry? nope! The url is pulled from the conf_global.php file, if you are using https for the config file, that is all that is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when we could use conf_global to take care of it all. Just to clarify we recommend running all of our software in the root directory, some special setups may be different, however there is no need to use an index file with IPS4 for pages, as you simply put the software in the root directory and set pages as your default app, then other apps become /forum / blogs /gallery etc. With the old 3.4 is was a different story though, but IPS4 is pretty cool!

That's the issue Rhett in a lot of cases is a lot use/install a sub-folder. That's why I included that suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not to common anymore really, maybe 1 out of 100 sites if that, so if you suggest that, be sure to clarify it would only be for specific setups, if it's not clear, people read things here and apply them to their site, breaking stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't have time to write a doc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
