Hi I have a Drupal 6 website and for last two days tried to install SSL on it.

My problem is that some of the code in drupal especially for static images we use http so SSL complains.

I tried securepages module but it was of no help.

Do we have to check every code for reference if http and change it to // to make SSL run?

Please assist Thanks!

If you call an image with http and you apply SSL/TLS on the domain, the domain is going to be "semi-secured" because some assets called over the SSL/TLS.

I know on WordPress that there are plugins for auto-fix the http calls and replace them with https, such images.

In general you need all the called and used assets to be called with SSL/TLS (https)

  • Hi thanks is there any module for drupal 6 that'll automatically replace http with https? – user3236765 Mar 29 '17 at 23:58
  • in case you are not aware of the following, I attach you a previous question on the same issue: drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/169321/… – Greg Mar 30 '17 at 0:02
  • also, i dont know about a spesific module mate. sorry. :/ – Greg Mar 30 '17 at 0:05
  • Thanks it'd seem that In settings.php with: $base_url = 'https://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; would it work with Drupal 6? – user3236765 Mar 30 '17 at 0:05
  • this is just a declaration of a PHP variable. It should work, but I don't know if it is going to fix your problem mate. Just tried it out and see the results. Btw, you can debug the SSL/TSL from firefox (my opinion is better on firefox). – Greg Mar 30 '17 at 0:09

The best way to discover what included files are causing this is to use the developer tools console in your browser.

In Chrome, press F12 and then the second tab from the left is 'console' you will see something like this

mixed content warning

Then you will need to go into your site and tediously track down the files page by page. I am not sure if Drupal supports the vanilla protocol like wordpress does. Instead of http://example.com... or https://example.com... you can simply use //example.com...
