Broken links when SSL activated

Permalink
Hi
I have a strange issue that has arisen on a site I maintain. Recently SSL has been activated on the site, since then some links have broken, but only pages that aren't within a sub directory, ie single pages that have been added directly under the home.
The only way to access them is by adding index.php before the url, ie
https://www.cattonhall.co.uk/index.php/enquire-about-catton-hall...

My hosting company says it is to do with the way Concrete 5 works that I am getting this issue, but I don't understand as it worked fine before the SSL was implemented

Has anyone else experienced this?

Hi,

I didn't saw any problems with activativating SSL on my pages so far.

On the given domain I see that your pages are written with an ending slash.
If you have a page like on top right "Buy Gift Voucher" - it points tohttps://www.cattonhall.co.uk/buy-gift-vouchers... - it has no ending slash and jumps tohttps://cattonhall.co.ukindex.php/....

I guess, there could be a problem with the rewrite rules (or add the "/" in the link).

regards,
Axel

If you remove index.php by .htaccess then make sure that .htaccess is activated on webserver httpS configuration too.

The following worked for me together with setting a canonical URL to https ://your_site:
# -- 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 --
