Hi All
I have been using vb4 for a few years and seem to have a decent idea on how it works now (if you ever can lol)
Last year we took the plunge and built a new forum using vb5 and im still learning every day tbh.
Amongst many issues im working through is how to change our forum form http to https,
I have read lots of different ways to do it,followed guides and it still seems to be my big white whale,so i would appreciate any help that can be given to sort this issue
I have asked our Host (1&1 ) to assist and they killed the forum,the second time they tried they said it was not possible and it was a vb5 compatibility issue
This is our forum: FTOOC
It is currently switched off.
It is version :5.5.0
I tried this and it didn't work (guide)
Following directions i know that this part needs to be changed:
Adding the s into the http://
Prior to this i understand that i need to change the .httaccess file ?
It says to use https un comment line below ? but im not sure which exact lines?
The way i read it i believe its the following that i delete?
#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
#RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
We have an ssl certificate for the forum that says its active.
Were am i going wrong ?
Pleas help before i drive myself crazy lol
Regards
Jaz
