HTTPS problem joomla 1.5 version

[Jokic]

Hi guys.
I have a big problem here. In my site i got a lot of

Code: Select all

Mixed Content: The page at '<URL>' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure stylesheet '<URL>'. This request has been blocked; the content must be served over HTTPS.

this errors. I force http to https on joomla portal. I use joomla 1.5 version I need help.

Question 1: How i can upgrade joomla to 3.x version? What i need to do?
Question 2: Where i can find on joomla my index.php or index.html file?

For this upgrade to latest J! version see https://docs.joomla.org/Planning_Migrat ... a_1.5_to_4 Make sure you have a backup first - cannot stress enough.

If your site is https then the errors could be because you've forced https site-wide and any links (incl. images) are actually http. Your browser may be able to see what the mixed content is that it's complaining about.

So in which file i can find my first page and edit it?

Not sure why you would need to directly edit the index.php (it's in root of your install) as you normally edit your pages through Joomla - where you 'first' page would be marked as home.

Because i need to change my http to https everywhere and i cannot find where is joomla storage my main files

[webtek]

Your storage of main files are in the root of install e.g. in the public_html of your server and use ftp/cpanel.

To enable SSL, go to your admin area > Site > Global Configuration > Server tab.

Find the field “Force SSL” and from the drop-down menu select the preferred option.

Make sure you have ssl/cert.

You could maybe edit htaccess or look for old extensions that may help. But tbh it's probably 10 years since I has any real dealings with 1.5 so not much else I can suggest.

I do that, but still get http not https

Ok - from memory - a long time ago, when working with https site wide there were issue with mixed content sites and the secure https browser 'padlock' would show warnings. I think you could click on and inspect further and find where the problems were.

I do remember such where a link on site pointed to an external website as http and not https and also some image files being linked as http and not https. Updating these resolved the site wide issue.

[Jokic]

I know, but where i can update it? I cannot find that files. I am looking for it but still nothing
This is my index.php file

You should really only be needing to edit the articles etc within Joomla! not the index.php ?

Take a look at https://docs.joomla.org/What_is_the_pur ... file%3F/en

[Jokic]

I know how to edit, but i cannot find where to edit...

[Jokic]

When i put my code in html and add this
<meta http-equiv="Content-Security-Policy" content="upgrade-insecure-requests">
my site is working, but where to add that in the site?

[webtek]

I see what your asking - tho perhaps more of a temp thing as opposed to permanent - but whether you can do site-wide or per page or even as some kind of custom meta, I don't know.

A lot has changed since 1.5. (-> 1.6 -> 1.7 -> 2.5 -> 3.x) before we even get to current! Can you not upgrade site?

[Jokic]

I will not update site just wanna add Content security policy to my site. Nothing else

The meta tag line you want to add, AFAIK, you would copy into the index.php file of the front-end template your site uses. i.e., download index.php to your PC, open it in a text editor e.g. Notepad (Windows) or equivalent for your O/S. Copy the meta tag to the <head> section of the index.php file. Save and reupload that file to its original location on the server.

View your website pages, view the source of those pages through your browser "view source" option. check the meta tag is showing on those pages.

Hope this solution gives you what you're after.

But my best advice, is to move towards the currently supported 3.10 or 4.0 versions.

I already try that and i got nothing or myb i dont know how to add <meta> on php. Can u show me how to do? U have my index.php up in code

[AMurray]

You're editing the *wrong* index.php file. The correct index.php file is the one in the template folder. The code you provided above is the code from the index.php in the root folder of the joomla install.

For example, in a typical J 1.5.26 the file to be edited (concerning the Beez template) would be found in /templates/beez/index.php. Continuing with this example, the file commences as below, and the <head> section starts at about line 23.

Code: Select all

</head>

Note below the initial PHP section, there is a <head> section in which you should be able to place that Meta tag.

So your Meta should be placed:

Code: Select all

<head>
	<jdoc:include type="head" />
	<meta ="........"/>
	.......
	</head>

If you ever switch templates, you'd repeat the above process for the new template.

Hope this helps further.
