help with HTTPS problem

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I purchased a positive SSL certificate for my site. Im using V8 of C5.
I changed the URL's setting to remove .php and set Canonical URL to HTTPS.

I adde this to the htaccess file...
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !on
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>


The site is performing very strangely.
Using Firefox and Chrome on imac the site renders but the home page and one other page shows as not secure. On mac Safari all the style disappears completely.

Ive tried various other setting in C5 in the URL's section but nothing seems to get the correct result.
Am I missing something or could it be the theme that is faulty??

Ive had to set it all back to HTTP for now.

Have you tried to leave only the C5 generated code in .htaccess, set both Canonical URLs to HTTPS address and enable URL Redirection and Canonical Tag options ?

For me is working perfectly without the need to add rewriting rules in .htaccess.

Looks like you've added your code at the wrong place. This is what I have:
# -- concrete5 urls start --
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
   RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# -- concrete5 urls end --

The HTTPS 'RewriteCond' and 'RewriteRule' should be AFTER the 'RewriteEngine On' and BEFORE the 'RewriteBase'

Sorry it's taken me ages to reply.

The code you sent me breaks my site so that can't be right.
I've since found out that you don't really need htaccess code for later 5.7 and v8.

Thanks for you help though.
