XF 1.5 Unable to Change http to https

[ngkong]

Hi,

My default installation of xenforo is with http, and now I want to change it to https. I've tried to edit "Board URL" from the option menu, also changed the license URL, but somehow <base href=" always sticked to http instead of https. Is there any cache need to rebuild to perform this action?

Thanks

Have you installed a certificate on the server?

Point 20 of the FAQ lists some additional steps which may be required (depending on server configuration) but you will still need the cert: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/frequently-asked-questions.5183/#post-180456

I use cloudflare so no need to install cert.

This should be nothing to do with the cert. If I view the html, the base tag still in http instead of https. It means $requestPaths.fullBasePath stays with http instead of https, doesn't respect "Board URL" configuration.

Sorry please ignore previous post, $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on'; did the trick
