SSL Settings

Post by dominoz »

Hi gents

I purchased an SSL Certificate for my website, and was advised to change the cookie settings in the
Admin control panel at the phpBB forum to cookie secure enabled, which I have done.

It was only later that I was looking at my server settings that I seen a warning.

Now I don't know if that warning was there before the certificate was configured or not.
Can anyone tell me what that refers to, and if I should have made any other changes.
Version 3.2.1

Thanks

This is not caused by changing your SSL settings. This is caused by your host blocking a function we use.

You can work around this by making the following change:
Open: includes/acp/acp_board.php
Find:

Code: Select all

$mod_rewrite = (bool) in_array('mod_rewrite', apache_get_modules());
Replace with:

Code: Select all

//$mod_rewrite = (bool) in_array('mod_rewrite', apache_get_modules());
You might want to file a ticket so that the devs can add more checks before attempting to use this function: https://tracker.phpbb.com/

Hi Noxwizard

Thanks for that.
So is this warning not going to actually cause me any problems.

Am I right in thinking that changing the code would get rid of the warning.
What would happen if I just left it the way it is.

Thanks

Hope you don't mind if I ask one more question on here, as it's still regarding the same topic.

Members on my forum who are subscribed to topics, are receiving emails with the wrong link in the emails
ie the link they are getting is http://www.puntersmate.net/forum/viewto ... f=4&t=5561
This is causing them to be logged out of the board

The link they should get is https://www.puntersmate.net/forum/viewt ... f=4&t=5561

I've changed the link for the forum in the board settings
Is there somewhere else I should change it.

Your cookie settings are wrong, see
https://www.phpbb.com/support/docs/en/3 ... -settings/

And you have to place a redirect in your htaccess
viewtopic.php?f=46&t=2271756

(Maybe different on your host!)
