XF 1.4 Problem with CloudFlare Free SSL (solved)

[A.Chakery]

Hello,

I am having problem with cloud flare free SSL plan.

Please take a look at below test :
http://www.webpagetest.org/result/150401_6K_FGN/1/details/

As you can see both NONE SSL and SSL objects are being loaded and unfortunately considering the I have set https version of my URL in as Board URL in XenForo options.

Would you please help me to solve this issue ?

Thank you

I assume CloudFlare isn't requesting your server over HTTPS? That's the big issue and ideally should be resolved.

If you can't, you can put this in config.php:

$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';

Thank you very much Mike. It solved my problem.

Just for all those who want to use CloudFlare Free SSL service ..

You should do three things to implant CF SSL :

1- Change your board URL in XF Options to https://your-domain.com

2- add below code to config.php of XF (as mike mentioned)

$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';

3- Add a Page Rule in CF to you URL (Note you should enter your url like this : your-domain.com/*


I hope it helps....

Thank you gain mike.

Great, just what I need it.

@Mike , I'm using my forum on a subdomain forum.domain.com. When I go to main site https://forum.domain.com I have a yellow triangle in front, but all other pages like forum.domain.com/members have a green lock icon.

What could it be?

 

[BassMan]

Ok, I think I know what it causes. On forum list I have some links that points to a non https site. I guess I need to fix this somehow, right?

 

[BassMan]

When I inspect site I see this:

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://forum.mmm.si/' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://www.rtvslo.si/_up/vreme/si/vreme_2009.png?t=4663734'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

What can be done when I load images from external site?

 

[Paul B]

Use the image and link proxy function.

 

[BassMan]

link proxy function

Can you please point me to right direction here. Never done anything like that.

 

[Paul B]

ACP search: proxy

 

[Zynektic]

ACP > Options > Messages

You can find image/link proxy there.

 

[BassMan]

I enable it, but it's still the same.

 

[BassMan]

Btw, those links and images are from external sites.

 

[BassMan]

Sorry, again, so do I need to wait for something when I enable this function? Not sure if I understand this. Also I've read somewhere the directory for proxy images is internal_data/image_cache (https://xenforo.com/community/threads/clear-contents-of-proxy-images.80588/#post-808703), but I don't have this directory on my server.

 

[Mike]

I don't know if you've resolved the issue, but I don't see the error on your site.

The proxy only changes content in messages. If you're getting the error from something other than a message, you need to change that to use HTTPS.

 

[BassMan]

@Mike , I've removed images from my forum list. I'll pm you the page where you can see the issue. Still not sure how to solve this.

If you can't, you can put this in config.php:

$_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on';

This code in my config.php have solved my issue, with Cloudflare.
Many thanks!
