Install a SSL certificate or use a shaired SSL. In configure.php files set HTTPS to your secure URL and turn it on.

Ok, I have installed an ssl cert and have modified the configure.php properly but I am not able to access my site using https...

any ideas?

were is the place to turn on the ssl

[jschafer52]

if i get the site ssl certificate installed and turn on the ssl, do i have to copy my whole site into the https directory too?

this is what i think but am just making sure.

Thanks,

It depends on how your server is set up. If it is a cpanel server, you don't need to copy files to a separate dir for ssl. You just edit the configure.php file to turn on ssl and it works

so in that case i would leave the https: lines in the config file empty?

As I said, you have to edit your configure.php to enable ssl, that includes adding the correct https url and path info as well. If you leave the https lines empty, how will osCMax know what url and path structure to use?

All I said in my previous post is that you don't need to create a separate directory. You still have to tell osCMax where to look.
