HTTPS link not working after site move
Permalink 1 user found helpful
I've just moved a c5 website (coded by somebody else) to a new server and have bought and successfully set up an SSL certificate for it. The link to the checkout is https, when clicking it this error occurs:
----------
Not Found
The requested URL /index.php/checkout/ was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
----------
Removing the 's' from 'https' in the URL shows the page correctly. I'm hoping something in the dashboard, or perhaps something in the htaccess, needs to be set up in order for this https link to function correctly?
If anyone could advise what I have to do that would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Have you checked your config/site.php file?
The BASE URL is a http:// address because most of the site is http, and as far as I can tell there's nowhere for me to add in the site's https address... is that what you were referring to?
is the site on c5 version 5.0+? if so, just comment out or remove that line.
It turned out to be a missing link between public_html and private_html which is all new to me, as I have little experience with SSL. Thanks for your suggestions though!
