Blank pages and unsecure images

[TrultToast]

Howdy! I realise I made a thread like this back in 2015. I also know some of you know Iv'e been working on vBulletin 4. But iv'e been messing around with vB 3 and I am currently forcing https/ssl on my site and this causes a few errors... I basically need to know how to change all the urls to https instead of http. Please don't suggest changing the site url in settings because that does nothing.

Here are some errors I get...


Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.rottensquash.com/vbulletin/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://www.rottensquash.com/vbulletin/cron.php?rand=1484284277'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.rottensquash.com/vbulletin/administrator-panel/index.php' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://version.vbulletin.com/version.gif?v=389&id=VBS66C2713'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.


and for the blank page errors:

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.rottensquash.com/vbulletin/administrator-panel/index.php' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure resource 'http://www.rottensquash.com/vbulletin/administrator-panel/options.php?do=options&dogroup=address&advanced=0'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

All help is welcome, This has been driving me nuts!

Change the site url to https.

Of course it does something, thats why its there.
If you dont change that, then you wont get anywhere.

It has been changed from the start.

That's why I said not to suggest it :(
Sadly the problem still exists.

Then you should have said that, not tell people not to suggest it.

You need to provide more information.
Where do you see those errors, what page (or pages) ? What version of vB3 ?

Also, did you rebuild your styles as well ?

These errors occur in the admincp for simply just being in the admincp:
Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.rottensquash.com/vbulletin/administrator-panel/index.php' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://version.vbulletin.com/version.gif?v=389&id=VBS66C2713'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.
Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.rottensquash.com/vbulletin/administrator-panel/index.php' was loaded over a secure connection, but contains a form which targets an insecure endpoint 'http://www.php.net/manual-lookup.php'. This endpoint should be made available over a secure connection.


This error simply occurs for just using the forums:
Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.rottensquash.com/vbulletin/index.php' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://www.rottensquash.com/vbulletin/cron.php?rand=1484361579'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.


and this error occurs when ever you save a setting in the admincp - this is what causes the blank white page in the admincp.

I am using vBulletin 3.8.9 Patch Level 1 and I did rebuild my styles.
It's like vBulletin thinks some of the urls are still "http"

Is your footer template totally default?

Is your footer template totally default?

Yep. Not a single thing has been touched yet.

[Kane@airrifle]

Most of those links are hardcoded in /admincp/index.php

You can edit same and change the links to https:/
(Unless VB changes the links with a new update you will have to change them manually every time you upload those files from a patch or update.)

Also, check your .htaccess redirects...

Fixed some errors by looking in my admincp index.php file but the blank page error still is a thing along with the cron image not being pulled with https.

[Kane@airrifle]

Double check your footer templates...

They (http links) are hard coded into the ACP.

As above, it does. That hard coding is being removed in 3.8.11.

So you are saying when the official version 3.8.11 is released these problems will be fixed?

[Paul M]

Thats the idea, yes.

[TrultToast]

Howdy Paul! Sorry for the old topic bump but...

I just upgraded to vBulletin 3.8.11 in hopes of fixing my HTTPS problem but sadly the problem still exists.. I'm a bit confused though because I see you got it working fine here on vb.org

[Brandon Sheley]

try searching templates for http://

and manually change them if vb didn't get to them ?

Did you revert templates with the upgrade?

[TrultToast]

Default style has this problem and it's with a fresh install.
There are also http errors in the admincp... Same problems as I listed above. I was expecting 3.8.11 to fix everything as Paul said it would. I see it all works fine on here which is why I'm confused...

[TrultToast]

bump?
