I purchased a new domain today through Bluehost.com and hosted it with them. I also purchased a Security Certificate. I installed Concrete5 without issue and then the problems started.
I'm not a techie and depend on Force SSL on my other sites (which I have not yet upgraded to the latest C5) to create secure pages. But I discovered that Force SSL doesn't work with the latest version of C5, and when I type in an https address the following error is returned -- "This webpage has a redirect loop" although Bluecast assures me the security on the site is up and running.
Question 1 -- What code is added to what file on what file path to force SSL without the Force SSL Block and would that potentially fix the glitch?
Question 2 -- On my project page for the new site I ended up with two "Found Location" entries with two urls (russellsmobile.com andhttp://www.russellsmobile.com) and I have no idea how two entries were created, whether that is glitching my SSL. I also have no idea how to remove one of the "Locations" or whether I should.
Which new version is that? I just installed 5.5.1 in a folder on my ssl-enabled site and while I am able to run through the install procedure once I try to load the example site I am greeted with the following "Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete."
The same occurs whether or not I add the 'BASE_URL' definition to site.php or not. Is there definitive documentation somewhere describing the process to install Concrete 5.5.1 with SSL? I remember having to go through a lot of hassle getting 5.4 to work with SSL as well, it really seems that it should be easier than this, or perhaps I am missing something simple.
This did the trick, thank you very much. Interestingly enough the post you referenced was one I started a long time ago when I had the same problem with 5.4. I didn't realize that thread was still active.
