Ssl certificate

[chicoynano]

Hello, I would like to have an SSL certificate in my forum htppS: //

Can someone please tell me what steps to follow to achieve this. Thank you

You need to buy an SSL certificate or get a free one at Let's Encrypt.

If I already have a certificate that is provided by the hosting server, I want to know the steps to be taken to configure from Admin if it is necessary to make a change

You just have to update the 3 URLs in admincp and change them from http to https. You also need to add a 301 redirect rule in htaccess to redirect http to https. vB provided that rule in one of the recent versions. You just have to uncomment the corresponding lines in htaccess.

Could you tell me what are those lines to modify or where can I find that information thanks

This is how the htaccess.txt file is currently on my server

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On # In some cases where you have other mod_rewrite rules, you may need to remove the
# comment on the following RewriteBase line and change it to match your folder name.

# This resets the other mod_rewrite rules for just this directory

# If your site was [URL="http://www.example.com/forum"]www.example.com/forum[/URL], the setting would be /forum/

#RewriteBase / #To redirect users to the secure version of your site, uncomment the lines below

#RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on #RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

# Send css calls directly to the correct file VBV-7807 RewriteRule ^css.php$ core/css.php [NC,L]

# Redirect old install path to core. RewriteRule ^install/ core/install/ [NC,L]

# Main Redirect RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(gif|jpg|jpeg|png|css)$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA] # Because admincp is an actual directory. RewriteRule ^(admincp/)$ index.php?routestring=$1 [L,QSA]

Edit the .htaccess not the htaccess.txt.

#To redirect users to the secure version of your site, uncomment the lines below
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]

Notice I removed the # in the last 2 lines.
