[Forum] SSL looses Style

[rcull]

VBulletin 4.2.3

I have just installed an SSL certificate on my site, http://www.teambuick.com . When I view it at https://www.teambuick.com , it looses it's style. Is there anything I can do about this?

This is my first experiment with SSL.

Thanks

Have you changed the URL setting in the admincp?

[rcull]

No, thank you for the response. I found it. (Settings, Options, SiteName / URL / Contact Details). That fixed the style when using https, but it leads me to another question as a new user of SSL. Should I be using my htaccess file to redirect everyone to https?

[Mark.B]

Yes, definitely.

[rcull]

Thanks, I have placed a rewrite rule in my htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.teambuick.com/$1 [R,L]

But, it seems to have interfered with the links on the CMS. When I go to the front page, the recent links to the forums work, but the links to CMS articles all bring up blank pages. Any ideas how I can fix it?

If you check your server's error logs for the time of this post, what's there?

Looks like I have a mess I can't find where ad_right.php is, or is called from... and I switched "Garage" off and it still seems to through errors. My situation is probably hopeless.

Found ad_right.php, killed it

reduced the errors and it looks like this is the one that may be causing the problem:

[26-Nov-2016 05:29:15 UTC] PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/home/teambuic/public_html/classifieds/config-intc.php' (include_path='.:/opt/alt/php56/usr/share/pear:/opt/alt/php56/usr/share/php') in /home/teambuic/public_html/forums/packages/vbcms/widget/execphp.php(191) : eval()'d code on line 8

It is something left over from Photopost classifieds, IF I can figure out where it is....

[rcull]

Hurrah! Got it. It was all stuff left over from Photopost Classifieds. I wish they had continued to support it, because I still liked that classifieds more than any other I have found. But Photopost abandoned it so it had to go It was simple straight forward and integrated nicely into the sites. Anyway, it is gone and I have solved a few errors too

At least the https works!

Thanks
