Cpanel force https full#
In the simplest of situations, this is usually a matter of just changing all instances of “http” to “https” in your website’s code, or using relative paths instead of full URLs (which of course, will only work for local resources). The report should give you a list of these resources. This error basically means that some parts of your website, whether its a CSS file or image, is loading over HTTP while the rest of your site is loading over HTTPS. This can be one of the hardest issues to resolve, depending on the framework of your site. For Engintron users, the setting will be in common_nf. If you’re running Nginx over Apache, you’ll need to also edit this in the nf file and restart Nginx. This will specifically disable the currently-outdated SSL protocols. You can also change this in the Apache Configuration section of WHM. Then run /scripts/rebuildhttpdconf and restart Apache. To fix this for Apache on a cPanel server, edit /var/cpanel/conf/apache/local and make sure the sslprotocol line reads as: sslprotocol: All -SSLv2 -SSLv3 -TLSv1 If your server supported connections on these expired protocols, some browsers may refuse connection to them over HTTPS. SSL protocols eventually become deprecated and non-compliant with PCI and other security standards. This one is a server-side issue, and you may be surprised how many newer browsers have really tightened up on enforcing secure protocols. Expiration DateĪs stated, your certificate must not be expired. This usually will not be problem if your certificate was issued in or after 2016, but if for some reason it is, just have your authority reissue the certificate. SignatureĪt present, your certificate must use the sha256 hashing algorithm, or SHA-2. Subdomains would not be included unless you specifically added them to your certificate or have a wildcard certificate. There is a difference between and, but nowadays most all certificate authorities will automatically issue the certificate to both. I also touched on this, but the certificate has to match the domain you are accessing. You can use LetsEncrypt or Comodo (provided by cPanel AutoSSL), though. A self-signed certificate is not acceptable. For your certificate to be valid, it must be signed by a certificate authority for the domain you are accessing, and must not be expired. The URL bar in your browser may also show a red broken “x” or padlock icon to warn you about this. Valid CertificateĪs noted, this should be an obvious one, because your site will probably not load without a notice that the certificate is invalid. Some applications may require you to adjust their configuration to load over a specific URL. If you have WordPress or another domain-specific CMS, you may want to consider a plugin like this one. It used to be that you only had to load your site over HTTPS for things like login or order forms, but by current standards, that’s no longer the case. If your website is failing in any area, it might not load correctly for some visitors. I’m a huge fan of this website, because it will pretty much tell you exactly what the problem is. Need help?

If this is the case, you need to install the certificate correctly first.
This is typical in situations where the certificate is installed for a different domain than what you are accessing (a.k.a “domain mismatch”), the certificate is expired, or it’s invalid or self-signed. Note: If your certificate is not installed properly, most all browsers will prompt you about this prior to loading the website. If you’re sure that the SSL certificate is installed properly, but your site isn’t showing as secure, there are many things that can cause this.
