changing to ssl over https

What are the necessary steps to switch my localhost development site to https?
(htaccess and so on)
I am using MAMP PRO which lets me use a self issued certificate.

Also, are there any different steps, to follow on the live site?

Thanks in advance, regards marios.

I’ve not used the most recent version of MAMP Pro but with the previous version, you still had to okay the self-signed certificate in your browser.*

But otherwise, all you need is the following line in your config.php:

define('PROTOCOL', 'https://');

That will cause internal txp-generated links to be created with https://.

You can – but don’t have to – redirect http: to https: in your htaccess (See HTML5 Boilerplate for an example).

If you’re accessing third-party libraries (js/css/images), also check you use https: in your src attribute.

For your online site, you just need to set up your certificate with your host and the same applies.

*Note too that if you happen to use certain file-related php functions, you may find, you need to do the same.
