Site images not showing up with https

kimass · 2019-09-12 07:52:57

My web site stopped showing some images after switching from http to https. Service provider sent me an email that I have to fix .htaccess file to show the images. Here is a part of code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/cpanel-dcv/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1 [L,R=301] #RewriteBase /relative/web/path/

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www.)?example.com/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/acme-challenge/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/cpanel-dcv/[0-9a-zA-Z_-]+$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/\.well-known/pki-validation/[A-F0-9]{32}\.txt(?:\ Comodo\ DCV)?$ RewriteRule .(gif|jpg|png)$ – [F]

Any idea?

Hi, welcome to the forum.

Normally, image URL generated via txp tags should use https, but hardcoded (via Textile or HTML) images URL need to be redirected to https.

The solution depends on your server configuration. Try googling for htaccess redirect http https to check if something works for you.

Hi, thank you.

I’ve been trying since yesterday, with no success.

Server is Apache, I have c panel, and few wordpress websites at the same provider. But this is my first textpattern and I wouldn’t like to make a mess.

Hi kimass
and welcome to txp
Did you try the htaccess code here?

kimass · 2019-09-12 14:41:20

Hi colak,
thanks!

do you mean this:
——————————————————————————————-
RewriteEngine on

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

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
———————————————————————————————

And where exactly to put it?

That is what I meant:) You can copy paste it on top of your htaccess in the root directory of your txp site. If your server misbehaves just delete it and we’ll try to find another snippet for you.

I’ve put it on the top of the .htaccess but nothing.

Vienuolis · 2019-09-12 18:49:55

I always prefer conditional links, not absolute:

/my-webpage or "link":my-webpage — internal, and
//domain.tld/link — external links.

Warning: this method is not suitable for linking from own encoded to external plain URLs (https to http).

Hi kimass,

could we have the url of your site in order to experience the behaviour your describe?

colak · 2019-09-13 06:42:43

Also check out this post as we need to define the https protocol in the config.php file

kimass · 2019-09-13 06:47:26

Thank you

I see all the images in your site. Can you point me to a page where the images do not load?

etc · 2019-09-13 09:13:46

You should probably replace http:// with https?:// if this rule is enabled:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www.)?example.com/.*$ [NC]

In my tests, regular images are loaded in FF but not logos. In Edge all image requests with referrer get txt 404 page in reply.

Edit: disabling referer in FF fixes the problem, fwiw.

Same in Chrome on Android.

I see! Basically, txp behaves OK but images outside the db do not!

There are two options there. One would be to upload those images in the txp db and call them from there. Another one would be to link to those images directly using a non secure (http) connection, which is the recommended way of calling images.
