Would anyone like to discuss moving to SSL/HTTPS?

1. Make sure "Always use Forum URL as Base Path" is set to Yes.

2. If that doesnt help, move to 4.2.5 and use the Force option in config.php.

Thanks Paul. It worked.

I am wondering when should use Force option in config.php file?

It doesn't have an obvious explanation on this command line

OK, in the 4.2.5 how to bypass cloudflare IP and log the real IPs of the visitors and posters.

The Real IP Address is: 108.162.212.254
The Real IP Host is: 108.162.212.254
The Proxy Server IP Address is: xxx.xx.xx.xx
The Proxy Host is: xxx.xx.xx.xx

Um, eh ?

What does this have to do with SSL ?

Sorry my bad. I was sleepy so did not notice the typo.

Wanted to know how to get the real IP in Vb4.2.5 being under cloudflare protection. If we enable the proxy to real IP through the config.php, we get the posters' IP as below.

The Real IP Address is: 108.162.212.254 (cloudflare)
The Real IP Host is: 108.162.212.254 (cloudflare)
The Proxy Server IP Address is: xxx.xx.xx.xx (Real IP)
The Proxy Host is: xxx.xx.xx.xx (Real IP)

I believe you just need to add the cloudflare module to
Apache. No need to change anything in vBulletin, just
make sure cloudflare is in strict ssl mode.

Apologies for butting in...
