Hello everyone,
I am trying to get UBB.Threads to work via the HTTP and the HTTPS protocol but having a bit of trouble.
Our site is currently running on plain HTTP, but for sake of security I would like to see it be available via HTTPS also (at least as far as moderators/administrators go). Because some variables in the config file require the absolute URL this means I would basically have to have two separate versions of UBB.Threads running.
My idea was simple. Make a new SSL Virtual host in Apache, with it's separate directory. Copy all the PHP files in the root of UBB.Threads installation there, then make symbolic links to all the subdirectories that don't include PHP files (to make sure log files, avatars etc. stay the same) and make a copy of the rest of the dirs that do.
Basically it means I copied the includes and languages directory, and made symbolic links to the rest.
Then I changed all the occurrences of http:// with https:// in my config.inc.php file.
Sounds simple and logical, but sadly it doesn't work. All the links that UBB.Threads create are using http:// (for instance, when I want to log in, I get redirected to the non-SSL version).
So basically my plan went rotten, and I'm wondering if it is even possible to get UBB.Threads to run on HTTPS?
If so, what have I missed?
Thank you for the answer in advance. We are running version 6.4.1 (working slowly on an upgrade to 6.5). The server runs on Linux, Apache.
Regards,
A.B.
