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.

Re: changing to ssl over https
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.
