Enable HTTPS breaks images

[texterted]

Hi guys

If I enable HTTPS in conf_global.php all the image links break.

Anyone got a clue for me?

For the theme images: 

 

[texterted]

Aye, thank you.

 

I should have mentioned I'd followed that guide. It is self hosted.

It's uploaded avatars and gallery images that are broken.

Did you definitely do the last step, running the support tool?

And provide a link to your site.

[texterted]

It just clears the cache, yes?

I have done it but I will try the process again when it's less busy on there.

This is the site.

Thanks for your time, trying to help.

I suggest you right click on a broken image, open in a new tab and review the resulting error message(s)

Attempting to see what errors are pushed when opening in a new tab, but it references that folders cannot be viewed.  I had a similar issue a while ago and solved it by copying the files from the named folder into the most current folder (check the dates on them) but don't delete anything, just copy.  If your server doesn't allow copying, download and reupload.  Not saying this will work or it's ideal, but it worked me when facing a similar issue 🙂

I do not suggest you move anything.

Your web server is forbidding access to the resources...look into that further.

Strangely, I have two older IPS forums, almost dormant. They are hosted on the same server but on different accounts on there.

They work perfectly fine, they even worked before I rebuilt the cache step in the ACP.

I can't see what I did differently with this forum, apart from updating it to the latest (4.5) build last night.

Copy not move - I did this without issue and it solved the problem.  I'm not saying this will solve the issue here but there is no harm in trying it 🙂

missed a word out lol

You can also check the CHMOD permissions on your folders 775 or 777 would be something to look at 🙂

 

[texterted]

Yes, I've got on to my host to get them to check for me.

 

I'll post back with any progress.

Thanks everyone! 🙂

[texterted]

So I had a quick look myself with Filezilla.

 

On one of the forums that works Most of the subfolders in the Uploads directory are on 0777

The forum that's broken are all on 0755

Is that the issue do you think?

[texterted]

Yes it is!

I just CMOD'd all the folders to 0777 and the images show using HTTPS in the url now.

 

You wonderful people, thanks very much!

 

EDIT Yep, confirmed, working on the forum! Did the edit conf_global.php and the ACP cache thing.
