Edit your config file.

Your entire forum will then be accessible through SSL.

Where is the https:// directory located?

In Apache (if using apache) - in your config file, you will need something similar to this:

NameVirtualHost YOUR IP ADDRESS:443

<VirtualHost YOUR IP ADDRESS:443>
ServerAlias www.YOURDOMAIN.com YOURDOMAIN.com
ServerAdmin AS IT APPLIES TO YOU
DocumentRoot /path/to/your/public_html
ServerName www.YOURDOMAIN.com
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
<Directory "/path/to/your/home/folder">
AllowOverride All
allow from all
Options +Indexes
</Directory>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/your/private/key/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/your/certificate/server.key
</VirtualHost>
