SSL for index.php

[mrmagoo]

I have configured SSL on my server for my pages to use https which works great with WHMCS for ordering, submitting the support ticket etc. but I cannot access the main WHMCS support page using SSL.

 

Going to http(s)://domain.com/clients does not work when you are trying to access the index.php.

 

SSL works for all other pages?

 

Yes, I could just use http for the main page but after you click on Order or the support ticket link, it takes you a https connection which works pefrectly, but then if you try and click on the "support" link to go back to the WHMCS index.php main page, it just eventually times out.

 

Firefox says "The page isn't redirecting properly" and IE will just happily site there for about 10 minutes until it eventually bombs out.

 

My question is, why doesn't index.php work with an SSL connection?

This leads me to believe that your .htaccess has something that may not be 100% correct.

 

Do you have an .htaccess file in your main WHMCS or top document directory? or are using forwarding?

[mrmagoo]

I have a .htaccess in the top directory, but it only has:

 

php_value register_globals on

 

Have nothing else and no redirections or forwarding.

Please copy/paste the contents of your .htaccess

This is all I have in the file:

 

php_value register_globals on

 

Also noticed the only files I can directly access via https are:

 

- clientarea.php

- submitticket.php

- the admin area

 

Is this more functionality than a problem? The only problem I see is if you want to make every page in WHMCS secure or if you click on those links above you can't navigate back to main page as it will use https so you would have to modify the page with a normal http link.

WHMCS will redirect to SSL using certain links if you have an ssl url defined, but you should also be able to access the default non-ssl pages with https. (You can use .htaccess to redirect it to ssl).

 

It still sounds like you may have a problem with your redirect (somewhere, somehow) or perhaps your ssl.

 

If you are root, you can also double check your httpd conf entry and make sure it's correct. Perhaps that's where your error lies.

 

And if you have whmcs in a sub directory off the main document root of the website, is there an htaccess file in the root folder?

Hey,

 

What version of WHMCS are do you have the WHMCS SSL option enabled via Admin Panel?

Out of curiosity I attempted to access our installation main page using https since we have it enabled and found the page loads non secure. The https is replaced with http also. The https works fine for client login and the admin area etc.

 

EDIT:

BTW running php 5.2 phpsuexec with no .htaccess whmcs V3.1.2

I noticed other sites redirected to http without any problems too.. my https does not redirect though. I'm just modifying the links in the template for now.
