I have a MediaWiki install running on a Ubuntu 12.04 server using Nginx as the webserver. I have also created a self signed certificate to use with the site so that when I log in, my passwords would not be exposed to everyone on the internet.
Recently, I noticed the the site does not properly load the CSS for the site. Upon closer inspection it appears that my browser (firefox) is blocking certain content because it is apparently insecure. It seems to not like that the images on the site are being referenced by uri instead of using https:// but I am not sure how to correct this. Has anyone run into this before?
You should try using protocol-relative URIs for $wgServer in your LocalSettings.php. For example, it looks like you have:
$wgServer = "http://wiki.asedmunds.ca";
Try
$wgServer = "//wiki.asedmunds.ca";
instead.

I searched for my issue in so many ways, but I don't seem to find the correct case, so I'm asking here.
I have a Laravel app which is installed on a server and everything works correct. The domain is set as HTTP only and is configured from AWS. However we need to have another domain which should work only from HTTPS. The HTTP domain is pointing to the server instance and the HTTPS one is pointing to a CloudFront distribution with origin the HTTP domain. The issue is that when I open the HTTPS domain, all of the links and images are loaded from the HTTP domain.
To be more concrete, let's say I have http://mysite-notsecure.example.com and https://mysite-secure.example.com.
When I open http://mysite-notsecure.example.com everything works as it should and there are no issues. However when I open https://mysite-secure.example.com the site loads, also files like app.js and app.css load with the correct host, but things like fonts, images, links, etc, load from http://mysite-notsecure.example.com.
Because most of the urls are built with the url() function, I think the issue has something to do with APP_URL, which was first set to http://mysite-notsecure.example.com, but when I added the new domain, I set it to empty (APP_URL=),
however the urls are still built the same way (I cleared config cache).
What should I do in order for my site to build the urls according to the current host?
I don't need any other change for the two domains. They should load everything exactly the same, only the host should remain and not redirect to the other domain.
It turned out there were two different issues.
I'll describe them here, because there is a slight chance someone could be dealing with one of them.
First, I printed the contents of the $_SERVER variable on both domains and the host in both was the same - the HTTP domain.
This issue was from the CloudFront configuration. Turned out the Host header was removed from the CF distribution behavior, so that CF replaced it with the origin's value (the origin is the http domain). After this was fixed, the host in $_SERVER appeared correctly.
But the initial issue for the urls building was something else which I didn't think of. After clearing the cache to remove the debugging and seeing the right urls on the HTTPS domain, I switched back to the HTTP one and saw now there all the urls pointed to the HTTPS domain. That is when it hit me that these domains share not only the configuration, but also the cache. And most of my urls on the page I was testing with, were coming from a function with cache, so when the cache was stored from one of the domains, they appeared the same on the other. When I included the host in the cache key, everything worked correctly.
Hope this helps someone else.
goto file .env and setup the APP_URL=https://mysite-secure.example.com/ and change
href={{asset('folder-path')}} in layout or blades file
Hello after installing a ssl on my site the image slider has stopped working.
The site isnt woedpress its just a php site thats quite old.
I installed the ssl through namecheaps cpannel & turned the redirect http to https on.
https://www.compare-travel-deals.com/ - my site
http://www.travelsite2.epizy.com/ - how it shold look
I've gone through changing any links i find to http: to https:
Viewing the source i thort it was somthing to do with this line "" but can work out where the link is to change http to https.
Hopefully someone knows.
Nevermind i scanned through the index.php and found the link to the http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js file and changed it to https. And it works now, thanks anyway.
I have also came across similar issue on my website's home page.
When I accessed my website from http to https(means after addition SSL) my image slider stopped working.
I tried below workaround:-
replaced all http links on my home page with https.
I assume in this case all http link should have respective https links available.
After that my image slider started working same like earlier it's working with http.
I have a requirement from a client to change the web site Url to a subdomain when they enter the checkout section of the site we are developing for them. For example from www.mysite.com to checkout.mysite.com. We are using UI-Router in HTML5 mode and would like to have the router change the Url to the subdomain instead of going to www.mysite.com/checkout. Does anyone know a way that this can be accomplished? I've also tried using pushState but without success. All of the subdomain suggestions I've tried have not worked. Honestly even if I just put a "fake" url that would work fine too. Changing the Url is more of a visual thing instead of actually redirecting to a subdomain.
After much review I found that this cannot be done because it is a security issue; even switching to a subdomain (which is what I was trying to do) is not allowed.
I have a website that is live and a version that I am working on locally using XAMPP. For some reason every time I try to load:
http://localhost/websitename
or
http://127.0.0.1/websitename
it goes to the internet version. This has only started happening. All services are started. XAMPP is working for all other sites that I am working on locally.
Check your site settings as I believe you're having the url in your website set to the live version.
This can have alot of reasons.
What does your windows host file have for redirect rules (C:/Windows/system32/drivers/etc/host) I assume that you use Windows because you said "xampp", correct me if im wrong)
Check for header(); redirects within your websites php scripts.
Do you have a v-host entry redirecting you to another url in your v-host config of your apache?
Check if you have any hard-coded url's? or redirects? in the project that are redirecting to the live version.
When I try to access my website over https, I get a mixed content error. Looking at the console, The offending resources are all images that are uploaded using the wordpress media uploader.
But isn't wordpress smart enough to know that it should serve those images over ssl if the https version of the website is requested? If not, is there an easy solution to resolve this issue (besides from editing every post to replace say http://example.com/image.jpg with //example.com/image.jpg)
Wordpress has a plugin that does this trick. Wordpress HTTPS(SSL)
It replaced all images loaded through "HTTP" with "HTTPS".
