Change in hosting URL from http to https

ronak12

We have included SSL certificate in our hosting site which has caused error 500 on clicking on folder structures in Item Creation , Test Creation , Test Takers ,Groups,Deliveries,Result and media.
Please provide a solution for how to run it smoothly without an error and which files needs to be configured for https url.

Hi, did you change the new URL in config/generis.conf.php (ROOT_URL constant) accordingly?

Regards,
Cyril

I ran into this issue too. As Cyril mentions changing the config/generis.conf.php is required.

I changed both the below to https
define('LOCAL_NAMESPACE','https://site url');
define('ROOT_URL','https://site url');

Also you will need to configure your certificate somewhere. I have a separate virtual hosts file that I updated:

sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf.d/tao.conf

Note that in addition the the certificate location info you need to make sure the ServerName matches what you used when you created the certificate request.
