Forum OpenACS Development: SSL wrong redirection

1: SSL wrong redirection
Posted by Iuri Sampaio on 11/27/08 05:35 AM
I set up a SSL connection on my oacs box and now every time i open the site http://mysite.com it redirects to
https://debian:8443/

This action only happens when i try to access the site through the main url.

Example: if i type http://mysite.com/xowiki i get the page opened properly without https redirection.

It happens because https only redirects from the very beginning of the navigation.

Now, I am looking for a parameter in the site to change the url such as Sitemap -> kernel -> SystemURL

I already change that. I thought https://debian:8443/
was related with the fact that
SystemURL -> http://localhost/

localhost could be set on the OS network settings to the name debian.

But it didn't solve the problem.

I believe the problem isn't on oacs configuration.
Does anyone have a clue?

Iuri,

Try setting kernel SystemURL to http://mysite.com or http://www.mysite.com (depending on if you have set the domain in the config.tcl file to mysite.com or www.mysite.com ), then restarting aolserver to make sure the new value is used in the system.

Torben is correct. THe SystemURL needs to be the public URL of the site and should include the trailing slash.

That's the thing i did exactly as you guys told here. I already set kernel -> SystemURL with the correct address.

I set the parameter with the correct ip address.
-> kernel -> SystemURL -> http://10.5.100.50

But https still redirects to http://debian:8443

Aha.
Also be sure the hostname parameter in your config.tcl file is correct. I think that might be the problem.

Openacs uses the hostname parameter in the config.tcl file of your server, and the headers of the conection to set the secure location,

You can take a look to this too procs if you want to dig more in the matter.

security::get_secure_location
util_current_location

I hope this will help you
