[Phpwiki-talk] phpwiki 1.3.12p2_2 and https

[asko <ask...@ul...>]

Hi,

is anybody running phpwiki over https? I'm having slight problems..

Firstly, the wiki is for private use and is protected by .htaccess ..


phpwiki-1.3.12p2_2,
apache-2.2.2 and php4-4.4.2_2

virtualhost looks something like this:

<VirtualHost *:443>
   ServerName    phpwiki
   ServerAdmin   webmaster@server
   DocumentRoot  /usr/local/www/phpwiki
   ErrorLog      /var/log/apache/phpwiki-https-error.log
   CustomLog     /var/log/apache/phpwiki-https-access.log common
</VirtualHost>

Usually web applications are able to detect the correct URL for internal 
links, but now after authentication all the wiki urls point to 
http://phpwiki. Basically I get http wikilinks, but I need https ;-)

I was not able to force https in URL parameters in config file,
setting 'SERVER_NAME = https://phpwiki' produces bad links like 
'http://https://phpwiki/SomePage' ..

Btw, https worked in phpwiki 1.2 with similar configuration if it 
counts, it broke after upgrade.

Please help, what am I missing.. It probably has to do something with 
URL detection?

thank you
asko

Set SERVER_PORT = 443 in config.ini
Maybe try DISABLE_HTTP_REDIRECT = true

I lost my mod_ssl.so somewhere, so I cannot check immediately, but I 
will try to set it up again for the tests.

I remember for earlier 1.3.x days, that we had to fix it and I didn't 
check https for some years now.
It's probably just wrong url forcing.

Hello Reini,

thank you for your answer!

Setting SERVER_PORT and DISABLE_HTTP_REDIRECT did not help, wiki links 
changed to http://phpwiki:443/MyPage .

However, I did "grep -ir https *" in my phpwiki directory and found that 
there is another configurable parameter "SERVER_PROTOCOL".

setting SERVER_PROTOCOL to https parameters did the trick! Thank you for 
your help!

SERVER_NAME = phpwiki
SERVER_PORT = 443
SERVER_PROTOCOL = https



The default config file could look something like this, to save time the 
next time ;-) :

--cut-
; Canonical name, httpd port and protocol (http or https) of the
; server on which this PhpWiki resides.
;/
;SERVER_NAME = some.host.com
;SERVER_PORT = 80
;SERVER_PROTOCOL = http
--cut-

Thank you also. You were faster than me.
That also saved me from finding a mod_ssl.so for windows in the short term.
