Having a problem with HTTPS (SSL) page

eriklharper

I have the need to encrypt some form pages on my website and I'm basically using a function that redirects to an HTTPS URL and it is giving me a 404 Page can not be found error:

See here: https://dev.thehubway.com/signup

Can anyone tell me why this is happening? Is there a Fuel-specific configuration somewhere I have to change to enable HTTPS urls?

Thanks,
Erik

I can't think of anything off the top of my head. How is the page being served up?... via a controller, a page created in the CMS or is it just a static view file using the "opt-in controller" method. Do you have the same problem with a normal CI setup?

It is via a controller called signup.php that has simple code that replaces http with https if it isn't already there. It's definitely something to do with my web server itself because right now if you go to dev.thehubway.com/signup (without the https) it won't redirect because I've commented out the code that redirects it so that I can still see the page loading.

On the other hand, if I physically type https://dev.thehubway.com/signup , this error comes up and I'm not sure if it has something to do with Fuel or my web server, my guess is maybe Apache or something. Is there a change I have to make to the httpd.conf file maybe?

That is an Apache error. It sounds like it may be something on your server. Sometimes the https web folder is different then the normal http web folder (Media Temple does this on a Dedicated Virtual machine).

I've resolved this issue by enabling SSL for the website in question via the Plesk control panel, so in the end this had nothing to do with Fuel, as I suspected.
