[SOLVED] Activate ssl how-to cmsms 1.9.4.1

Post by eus »

Hello,

Can someone help me what to do to activate ssl on cmsms 1.9.4.1 ?

I think i'm missing a basic thing but i can't see any information on this.

- I want to secure http://<domainname>/preview/login with ssl

I set
$config['root_url'] = 'http://<domainname>/preview';
$config['ssl_url'] = 'https://<domainname>/preview';

I checked use this page in the page
Then i get can't find page

https://<domainname>/preview/login says can't find webpage after agree on the "go further" button.

I wan't to check it out first before i buy an certificate.
Do you need to install the cms also in the ./httpsdocs direcory ?

Maybe someone can point me in the right direction.

Thnx

If you don't have a certificate you may get 404 error on page, I just had this problem, bought one for the site which is set in the folder/place you want secure, mine needed to be in root of cmsms install...

SOLVED: Activate ssl how-to cmsms 1.9.4.1

Hello,

Thnx for the reply.

The problem is fixed and is not cmsms related. Not all the necessaire fields for ssl were activated in my hosting package.
I noticed it when i checked include.php (if $_SERVER['HTTPD'] )
It did'nt return anything.
That's why i checked my hosting settings again.
