CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi, I am in the process of moving my site to a new server and have ran into a few issues.  I followed several of the migrations discussions to get me started, but now with the SSL integration I am getting the "HTTPS is not set up on this machine" error, which I believe is causing other issues.

I'm using Drupal 6.19, CiviCRM 3.2.2, PHP Version 5.3.2.  I am also using the Securepages module to support the use of SSL on my Ubercart products page (which is working).

I read some of the older forums about commenting lines out of the System.php file that does the SSL checks, but when I tried commenting the lines (868 -878), the whole site goes blank... even using a different browser pointed to the home page. I am not a coder, so probably commented out the wrong lines...

My SSL cert is only for my FQDN, and not the base domain, so is there a way we can only verify the SSL at the FQDN instead at the domain level?  I'm sure that is/has been a discussion for other threads, I just need to get my site moved and back up fully functional, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had tried several things which included disabling SP, but Civi still complained about my site not being setup for HTTPS. 
I did find a work-around... I have included the civicrm paths to SP , and disabled "Force SSL" in CiviCRM.  Things seem to work, but still testing. Would rather have the "Force SSL" set, so will keep testing.
Thanks,
Patrick

Patrick,

Just an update. In order to avoid the "HTTPS is not set up on this machine" error, I made the following change to CRM/Utils/System.php

             $url = "https://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}";
-            if ( ! self::checkURL( $url, true ) ) {

-                    // admin should be the only one following this
-                    // since we dont want the user stuck in a bad place
-                    return;
-                }
-            }
             CRM_Utils_System::redirect( $url );
         }
     }

Notes:

• This diff file is for v3.2.3 but should be similar for other versions
• I think the problem I am having is due to an interaction between CiviCRM and the Secure Pages Anti-Hijack modules. I suspect that the anti-hijack module looks for a cookie variable that self::checkURL doesn't pass, but which CRM_Utils_System::redirect does. I hope to prove that soon. This patch is a temporary hack until that time.
