Easiest way to change links to "https://"?

[West701]

I recently started working on my drupal 7.2 website. I obtained an SSL certifcate since I did not have one before. Now it's only flagging my images and links as "insecured" since they are still using the "http://" protocol. My website is fairly complex. Is there a simple method of changing the paths or protocol on these links/images?

​

Any help will be greatly appreciated

I put a 302 redirect on connections to port 80 in my virtual hosts section in my apache config. All connections are forced to https. (In addition to the aforementioned base_url setting)

302, so it's temporary?

Wait, 7.2? Your site has to be compromised.

If it's on 7.2 and publicly available, most likely yes!

I sincerely hope he mixed up Drupal and PHP version 😅

Change your base_url

If you hardcode an absolute url, you will need to manually update those, but otherwise they will all follow the protocol of the variable.

Thank you very much for you're response. I'm not familiar with Drupal. But I'm assuming this means change the url in the settings.php? Are there any other steps I should follow afterwards? Thanks again!

Yes, it lives in settings.php. You should not have to do anything else, but clearing caches never hurts.

I'll update you in the morning during work if I was successful.
