How to use https instead of http

Posted 17 years 2 months ago
- I bought a $250 dollar SSL cert and installed it on my server because I'll be doing a lot of secure transactions.
  How do I get joomla to use https:// instead of http://

- 1.0.15
  
  I tried 1.5.2 but a lot of components weren't native and I didn't like a lot of the changes they made.

- Did you want the whole site or specific bits (e.g. checkout)?

- What do you guys think? (Should I do just checkout and logins or the whole site)
  
  I was thinking the whole site.
  Is there a con or downside to using it on the whole site?

- Well I have always found https for the whole to be slower, but if you want that, can't you just redirect in htaccess to https url, and then set joomla live url as https?

- Do you use a 301 redirection within your .htaccess file.

- Use this:
  
  RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.yourhost.com$ [NC]
  RewriteRule (.*) www.yourhost.com/$1 [R=301,L]
  
  Think that should work
