base_url on https

Hi there,

So I have an SSL certificate installed, but my base_url uses [[++site_url]] and still says 'http://www.domain.com'.
I have changed the server_protocol setting to https
I have emptied the cache
I have manually emptied the core/cache folder.

I've installed certs before and not had this problem!

I can't think what else I can do?

For now I have manually changed the base_url to 'https://www.domain.com' and it works fine, but I would much prefer to use '[[++site_url]]'

try to call it uncached

if the site was called by http the first time, this would be cached.
You should also force https, for example by htaccess

Andy,

Try this in the .htaccess

Andy,

Try this in the .htaccess

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L]

Thanks - I already have this:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\..+$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=localhost [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !=127.0.0.1
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>


Should I combine your with this, or replace it?

You've probably set the link_tag_scheme to https?

Go to "System settings" > "Core" > "Site" > "link_tag_scheme" and edit into "https"

This system setting takes care of the protocol used for url-generation

Thanks.
Just checked and link_tag_scheme is set to -1
What does that mean?

-1 is the default setting. Change it to https

Thanks - that's still not working. The base_url still says 'http://www.domain.com'.
I have a few other sites on https, and none of them required that setting to be changed! I normally just change server_protocol to https.
I ave cleared the cache and also deleted the core > cache folder just in case. I can't think of anything else. Never had this issue on other sites. V odd!

Try Andy's code above yours in .htaccess.

Have just tried that - still loads the base_url as http://www.domain.com

Never had this issue before. I don't understand why.
