Hello,

I tried to install Commentics on an IIS site that required (I mean mandatory) SSL to operate. I got the start-up page from the /installer dir starting OK, but clicking on the "Next" (or whatever the wording was) button did nothing - just hung there trying to access the site. Reloading the page didn't help.

The only solution that I found was to disable the mandatory SSL requirement and also allow to process regular http:// on that site. Only then I could continue with the installation pages all the way to completion.

I'm posting this here hoping that it might help someone.

Now I need to figure out how to make Commentics work within the mandatory SSL configuration. I saw another related question in the forum - it might help.

Hi,

You're right that the installer doesn't take into account whether the URL is using https so always links to the next page using http.

This is fixed in my development version of Commentics v3 which will be 100% SSL compatible.

The backend and frontend for the most part should currently work with SSL. However some parts don't and if you do a project search for the following then you may be able to fix it by changing the http to https.

PHP Code:

<?php 

header('Location: ' . 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']

Thanks for the response. Earlier I made some changes both in the source code and in the MySQL table values trying to change the referenced http:// to https:// , but I borked it and now I am undoing the changes trying to bring it back to a stable operation before trying your proposal.

This is great news re V.3, and if you want someone to test it out when you are in beta, it will be my pleasure.
Also, since I use a non-standard SSL port, I hope that the new version will handle this graciously.

I will definitely be needing some beta testers as v3 involves a complete overhaul of the code with several new features so I appreciate the offer. I will look into handling non-standard SSL ports to make sure it works with them.
