CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I recently set up our web site to use pound (http://www.apsis.ch/pound) for serving SSL and redirecting all content to secure pages. Now, when I send a mass mailing, the URLs in the body of the email are sent out as https links like this:

https://www.ceeforum.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=2810&qid=50739

The external URL is "http://www.cee1.org/ar"

What happens is the external domain name is lost and, when the user clicks the https link above, they end up with

https://www.ceeforum.org/ar/

in the browser bar which fails as a 404 not found because it is attempting to load from the local site.

My configuration is currently still running non-secure apache on port 8080, so if I hit

http://www.ceeforum.org:8080/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=2810&qid=50739

this bypasses the SSL redirection and works properly

if I attempt to hit
http://www.ceeforum.org/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=2810&qid=50739

then this is redirected to https, so it has the same effect as the first URL above.

Is this a Civi problem or a pound problem? I am now thinking it through and suspecting the problem is that the hostname is being lost through the redirection between apache and pound, not Civi, but would appreciate any insight from people who have done similar configurations...

Hello,
I have exactly the same problem but I didn't understand how to fix ti... Can you give me more explanation ?
