DA - Installatron - SSL - question

[lightningbit]

Hi,

not sure where to ask otherwise, but with all the experts here, maybe someone here can give an answer.

For one of my projects, I'm using a reseller account in DA with a hosting provider.

In a user account, I added a test domain, I enabled SSL in DA for that user and domain. Generated an SSL cert with "letsencrypt"
all going well

I installed joomla on http://www.domain.com, inside joomla (global config), I wanted to enable (enforce) HTTPS for the whole site
I get an error back from joomla: "HTTPS not available or enabled on the server"

Strange

So I went back, installed another instance of joomla to https://www.domain.com (selectable in installatron, the path where you want to install the framework/plugin)
which then ends under /private_html in stead of /public_html
of course I need to access it with HTTPS to begin with, and of course, when I then inside joomla, want to enforce HTTPS for the whole site, it works.

So is it indeed required to install the framework directly under https in /private_html, in order to use https?

Cloning (the installatron feature) between http and https does not seem to work. Once installed under https, e.g. cloning that installation to http://www.domain.com/test, I see installatron do the work, but going to that URL afterwards, I get a 404
although the files are there




L.

(the reason to start with HTTPS is because google and others start to favor https over http while searching, indexing, ....)

Once in user level, go to "Domain Setup" and click on your domain to edit it.
Select "Use a symbolic link from private_html to public_html..."
This way you can install all your data into public_html

This will also delete private_html directory and it's contents.
You should now be able to open your site with http and https.

Regards,
Alex
