Steps to install HTTPS/SSL


Design and Skin Customization

Weird - yeah that shouldn't matter, since the only reason to restart Apache is to ensure it picks up the SSL certificate, but glad it's working now :)

Steps to install HTTPS/SSL

derrickhand300:Not sure if it helps- but the FORM VALIDATION message started appearing AFTER I removed the https from the config file and restarted apache..

That tells me the SSL is not configured right, since what that means is the "form response" was coming back out non-SSL, and Jamroom uses the value of jrCore_base_url when it does a "redirect". So that means the cache was still not reset, or something else was making the site redirect to non-SSL. Do you have any customizations for redirections in your .htaccess file?

It's difficult to say what the issue could be since I don't have access to your server or even know how it is setup, but the Jamroom setup needed for SSL is really minimal and once cache is reset it's pretty much "automatic".

No problem - this should be a pretty easy update - we do it regularly here and the SSL is really straight forward, so I would double check how your email is setup and make sure it does not need to be updated to account for your site moving to SSL.

I'm not sure what ROUNDTREE is, but does it need to be updated to know your site is on SSL? Sounds like an email issues.

Yes - you can roll back:

- remove the SSL config from your web server for your domain
- change the config.php URL value back
- restart web server
- reset caches

derrickhand300:after changing the config url to https I can no longer log into the admin part of the site

I think you're probably entering a bad password. The SSL is working (you can tell since when you click "login" you see the activity spinner).

derrickhand300:In addition when I try to reset the site password I am not getting any of the emails

Like I mentioned above - this sounds like an email issue - you need to check your email delivery log. You're not on Jamroom Hosting so I cannot tell you how to do that, but your hosting provider should have some way to view your email activity so you can see what is being delivered or if there are any issues.

Let me know if that helps.

derrickhand300:"WHEN" I get logged back in do i need to go through thousands of pages and re-upload each image?

Of course not. The only place you will have an issue is where you have hard-coded img URLs into templates. Otherwise everything in JR keys off the URL value you enter in the config.php.

We do this on our hosting almost daily, so it works well.

derrickhand300:Each time I try the FORGOT PASSWORD it does not send me an email link to reset the password.
Did i need to change the email settings to https before doing this so that it would send the emails?

No - email has nothing to do with SSL.

I can see the site is configured with SSL, although you ARE loading non SSL images so you will want to fix that. You'll need to check your email log (wherever you access that at) to ensure email is being delivered.

derrickhand300:I reset caches yesterday using integrity check...today i can not log in to try it again

Most likely you are not accessing the site at the SAME URL that you put into config.php. For example - if your config.php is:

$_conf['jrCore_base_url'] = 'https://www.yoursite.com';

Then you will have a problem if you try to go to:

https://yoursite.com

i.e. you are not using the "www". your browser sees:

https://yoursite.com
https://www.yoursite.com

as 2 different websites - it will NOT load Javascript from one into the other.

If you cannot log in you should be seeing errors in your browser developer tools Console Log.

Can no longer add links to images

Strumelia:Before I apply this I'll need to dig back in time to find where I tweaked the tnymce editor code to make the editor menu the way i like it, so I can tweak it again after this update. --I just wanted to check if this update worked for Curtis before i go digging for my old tweaks. That old thread is here somewhere... =8-\
Thanks!

I'm suspecting you did NOT change any of the actual tinymce Javascript code - you probably just customized the "editor.tpl" file in the ACP -> System Core -> Templates section.

The ZIP file I posted is not related to that file.

derrickhand300:I "think" I need to change the jamroom url in my purchases/sites to https...just not sure how to do this- sure dont want to delete my site:)

No - you don't need to do anything there. There are only 2 steps involved:

1) Update the config.php with the proper NEW URL that includes "https"
2) Reset caches.

I suspect you've not done step 2...
