Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have become more and more strict with making it very difficult to navigate to http:// Websites. Usually http is OK for me as my Websites are mostly just restricted to myself, but this time round I was going to help a friend sell the contents of her flat, and so knew that http would not be an option. I had to do an SSL for the Website.
For those still struggling these are the steps I followed. Note that I am using a VPS with a different URL and host name than the one I was working with, and that URL is still on http. I was able to navigate to the URL I needed the https for and followed the following steps:
Step 1: Go into VestaCP, go into Web directory, hover mouse over edit next to the Website you want to make https and click on edit.
Step2: Scroll down the edit options and under SSL Support tick Let's Encrypt
Step3: Use Putty to restart MyVestaCP service with the following wording:
Code: Select all
sudo service vesta restart
Scroll down the edit options and for Apache II select default option.
Then scroll down to edit option for nginx and change to force-https
The above last steps will force the URL to show only https and not both http and https.
@dpeca Just want to thank you again for your excellent management of MyVestaCP. All of your effort is much appreciated!
