Live Edit redirects site from https to http and gives 404 not found

[Johannes80]

Hello dear community,

 

Version: 1.6.1.11

 

I setted up all modules and all went fine, then I deleted the demo content and now the live edit button is redirecting my site from https to http, causing a site not found 404 error.   If I add the "s" after http, its working again, but is somehow annoying. I checked back on another install on the same server, and there its working without problems.  So I guess it somehow happend with the deleting of the demo datas.

I tried already:  delete cache, smarty,.. , shut off all caching, rewriting htaccess,  off/on SSL again, off/on userfriendly URLs, and so on, but it doestn help.

 

Is there a way to get the live edit button working again to the right https link?

 

Thank you for help

It seems to be a bug.  LiveEdit Button is not checking against SSL, no matter if you have SSL enabled for all sites or not. 

In the case you are on a hoster where you have different directories for http and https,  as me  (I have public_html and private_html) and your sites are in private_html,  the error occurs.

 

Workaround:

1) Put your sites into the public_html and ask your hoster to make a symlink from private_html to public_html  (or check if your hosting controlpanel has this option,  example Directadmin has this option), ... or

2) leave your sites in the private_html and put following code into .htaccess from your public_html:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
