Okay...  Doesn't everyone use SSL?   Can we please add this to the documentation.  Better yet, let me check ssl next to my url in the general settings.

 

It is  http://docs.blesta.com/display/user/Installing+Blesta#InstallingBlesta-ForcingHTTPS

Have you got this in your .htaccess?

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=307,NE,L]

That will force SSL On your Blesta installation and we use it.

EDIT --  My bad...  looks like this is done by default.   So the fact that it's not directing probably has something to do with my server....

 

EDIT2 ---  On closer look, the issue was that the .htaccess rules in my Blesta install directory were commented out.

 

Changed

 

#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on

#RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=307,NE,L]

 

to 

 

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on

RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=307,NE,L]

 

All good now.

Looks like this is resolved, but just to add.. the reason the lines are commented out by default is that we'd get a lot more complaints about things not working if we forced SSL out of the box. Everyone should use SSL for their Blesta installations, but many do not, or they set it up after installation is completed.

Sorry to take this old topic, but I just installed SSL for my Blesta at https://domain.com/blesta/, and add .htaccess file with above content. However, it seems only loading the default theme, and I cannot login to admin anymore. It always comes back to default portal.

 

So, is the code above working with blesta installed in a sub-folder?

 

Thanks.
