SSL / HTTPS Help Neeeded - I've tried everything I found

Hi,

I have some forms that need to be https://.  SSL is installed and working correctly and the forms point to the correct domain for the SSL.  It appears as though the default config.php file has support for SSL. But, the base url and links to style sheets remain http:// in the source although the address URL requested is https://

I tried the suggestions offered here: http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/FAQ/HTTPS and it still does not switch to https://. The port is default 443.

And using the {https} UDT in the template as suggested causes an internal server error.

I'm using v 1.2.3 on a LAMP with PHP 4.4.7 served as a CGI / Fast CGI.

thanks in advance for any help!

I had to make the whole site https:// by setting that as the URL in config.php. Not a great solution... IT is the only time I've been disappointed with CMSMS - If I were allowed to be disapointed with such a great Open Source product! LOL.

well... i figured it out look at...http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,20352.0.html
you can put that at the top of you login.php on the admin side, and use it on the front via a few ways... hope that helps, this is how we get undisappointed with CMSMS... by sharing...  ;D

I was able to make https work fine.  Follow the instructions as shown in the FAQ, BUT be sure to take out the :8087 for port.  Leave the $port variable out or set it to $port=' '.  For instance, in my config.php file I set my urls to $protocol . 'www.mysite.com'; and left the port variable out.

I get no errors and a secure form.
