SSL problem

[w00fy]

Hello,

I am running 4.2.2 Apache v2.4.25 and my host installed an ssl certificate for me yesterday on my vps it look like that part is okay, https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-check...e=legitfta.com

Reading the posts I changed the forum url and rebuilt styles, it seems the css go missing as soon as I change the url to https, once I change back to http the forum is normal.

Please see the screen captures and let me know if anyone can point me in the right direction on how to solve this please.

Thanks

If your storing your css as files (Store CSS Stylesheets as Files?), change to ssl, remove the files from ftp vbulletin_css, disable the storage option in vb admincp & save, then re-enable that option & save.

Hi,

Yes they are stored as files, how do I change to ssl?

disable the storage option in vb admincp & save? not sure I understand this part?

Sorry very novice at this.

If they are stored as files, disable that option in the admincp.

FTP into server & go to clienscript/vbulletin_css & delete all the files that start with *style*

set your forum URL to https & save

Enable the css styles as files option & save

Thank you,

There are folders and files that start with style, do I delete all?

I've just looked at your site and checked the F12 tools console while loading it over https and the main issue seems to be that your all the stuff loaded from your clientscript folder is being blocked because it is being loaded from http rather than https.

You could try a quick fix of adding a new replacement variable to your skin.

Thank you
z3r0,

I did try that before and checked it again, when I do this the site will load but not fully, Most Popular Forums will just say loading shoutbox the same, and still not secure.

I see it's mostly loading now, but there is still a few mixed content errors in the console, mainly e365mods/holiday/font/wwflakes.ttf - If you know what that is either edit it to be https or turn it off (snowflake mod?)

As soon as you can get rid of the mixed content errors the site will show secure.

Also, your site is in the forum directory however you have a lot of 404's in the console as some images are being referenced from the root of your domain.

I appreciate you time and thank you.

I disabled the e365 plugin, basically my xmas lights for the forum, and the site is now showing green bar and secure on most major browsers,

I would like to use those xmas lights as my members like them,

Any idea where I might find the location to change the url to https if it's that simple.

And thank you for joining my site I seen you at 4am Calgary time just before heading off for work.

Any other tips would be appreciated.
