XF 1.3 SSL HTTPS Issues - Broken CSS

[Wesker]

We're really stuck here on how to resolve this. We recently migrated to a new server. We have SSL installed correctly. Switching themes doesn't resolve the issue. However, this is what our site looks like in https://

Any suggestions?

Did you enable image proxy? Goto ACP> Options> Messages> then turn on proxy images.

EDIT* just notice 1.3 Don't know if this feature is in there or not.

I can see blocked requests in the console due to mixed content errors.

What do you have set for the board URL?
Have you updated it to https?

Are you using a proxy like CloudFlare? If so, is it connecting to your server via HTTPS?

If you're not using a proxy, what web server are you using?

Yes. However, due to caching issues we paused our performance with them

Status: Paused
Web traffic to this website is no longer receiving performance and security benefits. CloudFlare continues to resolve the DNS. You can reactivate CloudFlare for this website at anytime.

The issue still remains

Board URL
/admin.php?options/list/basicBoard
Set to http://

/admin.php?options/list/messageOptions

Image and Link Proxy

• Proxy Images

• Proxy Links

• Proxy Thumbnails

All of these are UNCHECKED.

Board URL
/admin.php?options/list/basicBoard
Set to http://

That needs to be your full URL I would say with https

https://yoursite.com

 

[Glockie]

Indeed, we faced similar issues.. You must adjust the board to https too, not just http.;

https://your-site/admin.php?options/list/basicBoard
Board URL - httpS://your-domain.com/

Try adding this

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

to config.php after

<?php

Never got the chance to test this but this may as well. Thank you @Glockie

Also thank you as well @Mike @Brogan @nodle

Guys now i have a more serious issue because the entire site is down

This is the error I get now.

400 Bad Request
The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS portnginx/1.8.0

 

[Wesker]

I tried to remove this code

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

Hasn't fixed the issue.

I also noticed adding this code broke the ability to post prior to this.

 

[Wesker]

It's working now. Had to reboot the server.

Even this is fixed? or still occurring?

Even this is fixed? or still occurring?

- Added code to config.php
- Started to notice site errors, specifically the ability to post stopped working
- Removed your code from config.php
- Post issue was resolved
- 30 seconds later error occurred
- Rebooted server
- Error gone
- HTTPS issue still remains

https://yoursite.com

https://your-site/admin.php?options/list/basicBoard
Board URL - httpS://your-domain.com/

This link: /admin.php?options/list/basicBoard

Previous Board URL - http://

New Board URL - https://

The issue as of now still remains despite the change.

 

[Wesker]

Try adding this

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

to config.php after

<?php

Will add again that this did fix the CSS issue but it broke other parts of the site, specifically the ability to post replies.

https://your-site/admin.php?options/list/basicBoard
Board URL - httpS://your-domain.com/

Shortly after making this adjustment, the site went down because of this issue

400 Bad Request
The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS portnginx/1.8.0

Site is backup because I reverted the change back to http://. Same issue above when I made the change in config.php

Looks like it did fix the issue in https:// but it broke the http:// with that 400 bad request error.

Core issue here is making any of these requested changes above from http:// to https:// seems to result in a 400 bad request above.

 

[Wesker]

I will repeat what @Steve F @Glockie @batpool52! mentioned to do in the early morning (traffic drops). We have fixed the 400 bad request issues but I think we just need time to adjust the conf file.
