Hi,

I have free SSL certificate included in my web hosting. My website is now not secure, and I want to make it secure. How can I make my forum (IPS 4.7.11) secure (how to implement SSL)?

I found this: Using SSL (HTTPS) - Configuration Options - Invision Community

But, when I do this, my website become offline, I cant access to it.

I have only one conf_global.php and it is located in my public_html folder. When I change http to https in that file, the website becomes unavailable.

please go to admin and clear cache then clear your browser cache.

I did that. Site unavailable.

The SSL certificate may not be configured correctly. In general, you need to look at the logs. You can test your site over SSL using services such as https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html and / or https://www.digicert.com/help/.

Turk12 Try accessing the site through a different ISP. You can send me the address of the site in private messages, I'll try to go to it.

Success!

First, as mentioned in article, I changed conf_global.php line

$INFO['board_url']            =    'http://

to 

$INFO['board_url']            =    'https://

Then, I put in .htaccess this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

good work!
