Google SEO HTTPS?

[Senethic]

Hi All,

I recently purchased a SSL but unfortunately it doesn't work with the google SEO plugin for some reason.

http://mods.mybb.com/view/google-seo (This is the plugin)

I set the board url to HTTPS and changed the .htaccess "http://" to "https://". Unfortunately it still gives an error that my board URL is set correctly "https://www.site.com" but that I am still using "http://www.site.com"

Any of you have experience with this?
Everything works with the SSL only there seems to be a mismatch with the Google SEO plugin.

Thanks!

Do you configure on your admin CP your preferences to board url ?

Because so many plugins and mods, have to take that value of your db instead.

bburl by default, so i think if you configure there https protocol have to work., cheers.

Hi Neo, yes I configured the bburl through the adminCP

I use SSL on my board for secure functions like login, but I don't use SEO URLs (I only use 404, sitemap and meta) so I never bothered debugging it.

I believe the problem is in SEO Redirect -- can you try turning off SEO Redirect as a test?

Are you using Apache? Your site URL?

Google SEO currently checks $_SERVER["HTTPS"] on.

If that's not set or set to something else, can you put a print_r(array($_SERVER["HTTPS"], $_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"])); anywhere?

You may also want to take a look at SSL Switcher which modifies the value of $mybb->settings['bburl'] based on whether connecting via http or https.

The SSL Switcher uses the same check as Google SEO does; if it does not detect that SSL is in use (due to the webserver configuration or whatever) it won't work.

Need more info here regarding your setup/site. It's not the fault of the plugins... (although I guess the check could be extended to the port number, if it's set...)

Is there a way I can manually switch the plugin to go HTTPS rewrite mode?

Sorry if this is gravedigging but i'm having the same problems as Senethic.

This in plugins
Board URL is set to 'https://www.mywebsite.org', but you currently seem to be on 'http://www.mywebsite.org'. A wrong Board URL setting may cause problems with Redirect.

And then when I try to load a forum section that should be https://mywebsite.org/forum-forumname
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

board url starts https
homepage url starts https
first rewrite rule for Google SEO was changed to https

Okay, my solution was pretty simple.

My hosting providers SSL port is not 443, so I edited line 45 of inc/plugins/google_seo/redirect.php

    if($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != "off" && ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] || $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] == 443))

and changed 443 to the port my host uses and it's fixed the issue, it follows the rewritten links and everything seems to be as before.

What port did you use? I added port 53 but that won't work.. ;(
