Hello !
I've just installed an SSL Certificate on my web site : https://photoscenic.com.au/
I changed the 2 http links in the Backlight settings to https:
-Company URL: https://www.photoscenic.com.au
-Site URL: https://www.photoscenic.com.au
Everything is working fine in the galley section of the site, but the following links are returning 404 error pages:
https://www.photoscenic.com.au/about/
https://www.photoscenic.com.au/contact/
It must have been a silly thing that I forgot to do. Any ideas ?
Cheers,
Thomas

Hi Thomas, can you check that the file .htaccess is there at the top of your site? This file handles URLs such as /about/. Since it starts with a full stop, it may be hidden from view. If so, check for settings to show hidden files in your FTP client.

Hi Ben
The .htaccess file is there and here is what's inside:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.photoscenic.com.au$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^photoscenic.com.au$
RewriteRule ^$ "https\:\/\/photoscenic\.com.au\/" [R=301,L]
I'm not sure if this is correct though.

FYI, this is the rule in my .htaccess and it works OK
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

This will be okay to enforce https connections to be used, but the pages created with the backlight designer require some additional rules to work. You can consult the .htaccess file in the top directory of the backlight distribution for comparison.

That's not the only rule in my .htaccess, just the rule added to the Backlight one for https.

Your top-level .htaccess should include all of this in order for the /about/ type URLs to work:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

Thank you all for your help , unfortunately I'm not such an expert in applying this into the file. I'm only a photographer without much experience in web language. Could one of you actually type it with my website address? Thank you

there is no need for that. Your web address does not need to be in the file.
The .htaccess file that comes with Backlight already contains all of what Ben posted. You just need to make sure that the file is in the root of your site. If you haven't done so already, upload the .htaccess file that came with the Pages module to the root of your site.
http://backlight.theturninggate.net/doc … on_install
Depending on your system settings, you may not be able to see the .htaccess file in the download folder. If this is the case, you need to set your system to show hidden files. You can find out how by Googling "show hidden files" for your system.

I'm happy to edit the file for you so that it includes both your current .htaccess content (the www to non-www redirect) and the Backlight .htaccess content. Let me know and I can email you the edited file to then upload to your web server.
Offline
All good now , I uploaded the .htaccess from the original folder of my download as Rod suggested and it worked straight away. Incidentally I did try Ben's suggestion but for some reason that did not work. May be because I copied and pasted.
Thank you all for your help!

The code Ben posted is for Backlight.
If You have set up the site with https form the beginning, everything will be fine.
If You have installed the certificate after installation of backlight, it would serve as good measure to paste the code to enforce use of https over http just for the case You missed changing some internal link to the https form. Also if a visitor types http that will redirect the request and prevent the visitors browser from complaining about Your site being less secure because of "mixed content" which means both encrypted and unencrypted.
It must be somewhere between RewriteEnging On and </IfModule>
the whole aould look like
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
