Force secure URLs (SSL) not working
November 02, 2008, 11:48:22 pm
I've got an SSL certificate properly set up on my site and I can access the site using https:// no problem... but when I go to global settings - resource URLs - in CiviCRM admin and change "force secure URLs (SSL)" to "yes" and click save... I get that red error message that says "you need to set up a secure server before you can enable SSL."

I've been looking around the forums trying to see if anyone else has had that issue... haven't noticed anything similar. 

So... I definitely have an SSL certificate installed and running properly on my server, but CiviCRM's saying it can't find a secure server. 

Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

is the secure server on the same domain as your normal server? i.e. http://www.example.com/ and https://www.example.com/

if so, you might want to add some debugging code here: CRM/Utils/System.php, function checkURL (line 635)

You can also check your SSL logs and see why our test request is not returning a valid 200 page

I have the same issue.  It's not a huge problem since J!1.5 implemented forcing ssl via the menu item parameters, but it is an irritation/security backup.

access log shows the return code of 401 - I'm not sure how to debug why.  https: access throws no error in normal use.
