CMS Made Simple Forums

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...

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.
