SSL/HTTPS automatic switching issue

[Basara]

Hi.

Do you have anything third-party connected to your domain or server, I mean CDN like Cloudflare, some internal additional server caching? Did you contact with your hosting support?

Hi,

No nothing inbetween.  i was going to setup Cloudflare at some point but not yet.  It literally just comes and goes... I can also browse the HTTPS sections of the site and it doesn't swap over to HTTPS.... It's like that whole mechanism is broken for me...


Thanks for any help everyone

OK this is still not working   Even if I ignore the fact that going to HTTPS://www.tranquili-tea.co.uk doesn't actualy give me a secure connection the site just isn't switching to HTTPS on the pages it should (Accounts/Registration/Cart etc).

So I can't force it to use HTTPS for the whole site and I can't leave it to swap over automatically....

Any other ideas?  I've just got the standard 1.2.6 install that I've updated to 1.2.7.  I have added the line I mentioned in an earlier post to htaccess but apart from that it's all pretty much stock...

If I go to the admin part of the site and user https:// before that then it connects and lets me use the admin portal no problems.  It literally seems to not like when the store loads-in...

Hi.

Disable your .htaccess file, then clear your AbanteCart cache, clear your Browser cache and check again

Hi,

Yes, this is the behaviour I am expecting but I keep getting this (see pic) where it says it's using HTTPS but it's not using the cert...


It also seems to work for a short while then I get back to this again....

I think this is your webserver configuration issue, not Abantecart. If you do not see certificate shown in the browser with HTTPS URL, check your Apache virtual host setting for https (port 443)

I'll try these couple of things are let you guys know

Thanks.

Hi,

I have done the following:

Cleared the Cache - many, many times
Renamed my htaccess file, it's no longer in use
Had my provider check my server config multiple times over
Triple checked my settings in the Store software
It doesn't work.

IF I go to the backend/admin part it works under HTTPS.  If I go to HTTPS://www.tranquili-tea.co.uk/hjdhfkjhfdsf I get an error page but it's a HTTPS secure connection still (padlock/key whatever).
The only time HTTPS fails to do anything is if I connect to the store front....  https://www.tranquili-tea.co.uk does not give mea secure connection.  https://www.tranquili-tea.co.uk/index.php?rt=checkout/cart does not give me a secure connection.  So I can only assume it has to be something related to the cart software itself as anything else on the webserver seems Ok...

Any ideas?  If not is there a way for me to wipe my install and re-instate my current store on the fresh install?  I presume there's a backup/restore procedure that covers this one?   Starting to think a reinstall os the only solution here...

Thanks guys.

OK....

So I have cleared everything down cache wise, emptied the cache on my browser, recreated the htaccess, pointed the site directly to HTTPS://www.tranquilitea.co.uk and added the following to htaccess

Code Select Expand

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

So far, it appear to be working.... I will update if it all falls through again

Hi,

I had SSL/HTTPS working just fine for a few days.  My host moved me to a new server and since then I've had issues with the site automatically changing to HTTPS. 

Like I say this worked just fine for a few days then my web host managed to enter a duplicate SSL cert on my box which caused me issues.

Still looks like the problem is in your hosting configuration

[abolabo]

please try to replace your public_html/core/init.php file with attached and let us know

[moosehound]

Hi,

It's been 4 days since my last post and all seems fine still   I didn't need to replace that file in the end I just cleared everything out and started afresh and it seems to have stuck this time

Thanks for all the support guys, very much appreciated!

Problem is in the 1.2.6 init.php file. I just upload init.php file from version 1.2.8 and SSL begin to work again for me...
