https ?

[exxos]

My domain uses SSL, and any page visited with https shows "secure". However, when I use https for the phpbb domain, it flashes up secure for a second then doesn't seem to be actually secure.

I see the forum here is https and shows secure, so not sure why my phpbb forum isn't secure when the rest of my site is ?

I have read about the cookie settings, and cookies seem to work fine, so no idea what the problem is ?

Probably mixed content from non https sources like images

hmmm, unless the forum itself is downloading images outside of my server, I hardly have any posts, but some do have images, but are on the server as uploaded into posts... not sure if that would matter or not ?

Another part of my site uses SSL because of my webstore and that shows as secure. Though it was a year ago when I set that up and can't for the life of me see anything to trigger SSL on my store pages in apache config.

For example
https://www.exxoshost.co.uk/atari/last/

Shows as secure.

It does flash up as secure for a second but vanishes.

Atari! I love it, had one in the 70's. Try refreshing the page, hold ctrl and hit f5. This forces the browser to clar the entire cache and load the whole page. It's the very first thing I do when something is wrong.

I clicked a few pages and everyone shows green lock, I'm using latest FF. Link to specific page where green lock is not showing. When you are not getting a green lock:

Right click page >> Inspect Element (this assumes FF, it may be different or unavailable on your browser)

This opens the developer console, switch to the network tab. This will list all the assets the page is loading and if they are secure or not. You can also select view page source, search for http://

-----------------------

Switching to https only affects the links generated by phpBB, it does not change the post content. So if you used this somewhere:

Code: Select all

[img]http://exmple.com/example.jpg[/img]

It's still pointing to unsecured asset. Note, the inline links for images uploaded where you have used "place inlne" should not be affected by this AFAIK.

Is that an ?s after index.php as in ?sid ?

If so is that showing up every page? If so this is cookie issue.

I tried to edit my posted image on here and its just gone a bit funny..

Anyway, I get..

Though I have tried Opera as I clear the whole thing on exit automatically. and that moans about not secure site as well. Though it all works fine on other parts of my site.

is that ?sid showing up every page you click on the forum?

[exxos]

is that ?sid showing up every page you click on the forum?

only seems to show up when i log in or out.

There is also two backslashes before phpBB, in the ACP check the script path. It should be:

Code: Select all

/phpbb
