I wanted to change my site from http
to https
. Always.
So I configured my apache accordingly. Now when I enter the URL of my site (https://steamnet.de) it loads the index site fine but none of the referenced elements (CSS, images etc.)
It seems to me that it does so because the base href
is set to http://steamnet.de/
and thous does not use https
there. I have configured my firefox that it should not load mixed content.
So how can I tell Joomla to set the base href
to https://steamnet.de
(or otherwise make the site fully ssl
?)
I tried to set the global ssl enforce element of joomla configuration ("SSL erzwingen" in german, $force_ssl
in configuration.php
) to "everything" but then the site breaks with infinite 303
error redirecting to itself. (As an afterthought: I was surprised to find a 303
instead of 301
here. If someone could explain that I would be grateful)
(Laoneo suggested some solutions, that did not work out, for completeness here is the list)
- configure
$live_site
to thehttps
url. - probe if changing
$sef
and$sef_rewrite
helps.
The apache logs:
