# Domain http instead of https

 * Hello,
 * I have a problem with creating new Sites on WordPress 3.2.1 MultiSite (Sub-directory
   Sites).
 * the webserver (apache) on our hosting server is listening on port 80.
    Clients
   are redirected from our proxies with https to the webserver.
 * after fresh installing wordpress, the new created admin account was not able 
   to login.
    Solution was to correct the siteurl option value from http to https
   in the mysql DB.
 * mysql> select option_name, option_value from wp_options where option_name = ‘
   siteurl’;
    +————-+—————————————+ | option_name | option_value | +————-+—————————————
   + | siteurl | **https**://<webserver>.at/<user>/wordpress | +————-+—————————————
   + 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
 * Now I have another problem.
    I can’t create new sites in Network Admin –> Sites–
   > Add New. After clicking on “Add Site”, a Securiy Warning: …. Although this 
   page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted
   connection and could easily be read by a third party. Are you sure you want to
   continue sending this information? ….. pops up.
 * After clicking on Continue, a blank site with “Are you sure you want to do this?”
   comes up.
 * I think, the problem is the “Domain” Statement, which point to http instead of
   https.
    (Network Admin –> All Sites –> /<user>/wordpress –> Edit: Domain [http://<webserver&gt](http://<webserver&gt);.
   at Path /<user>/wordpress/
 * How can I change the Domain from http to https?
 * I’ve already tried some changes (one by one) in .htaccess and wp-config.php:
   *.
   htaccess: …. RewriteEngine On **#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^<webserver>\.at$ [
   NC] #RewriteRule ^/~(.\*) [http://<webserver&gt](http://<webserver&gt);.at/$1[
   L,R=301] #RedirectMatch permanent ^/(.\*) [http://<webserver&gt](http://<webserver&gt);.
   at/$1 #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(/$) #
   RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 #RewriteRule (.\*) [http://<webserver&gt](http://<webserver&gt);.
   at%{REQUEST_URI}/$1/ [R=301,L] #RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 #RewriteRule ^(.\*)
   $ [https://<webserver&gt](https://<webserver&gt);.at%{REQUEST_URI}/$1 [R,L] #
   RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off #RewriteRule .\* [https://<webserver&gt](https://<webserver&gt);.
   at%{REQUEST_URI} [last] #RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$ #RewriteRule (.\*)
   [https://%](https://%){HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L] RewriteBase /<user>/wordpress/
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L] …. \* wp-config.php: …. define(‘WP_DEBUG’, false);
   define(‘WP_ALLOW_MULTISITE’, true); define( ‘MULTISITE’, true ); define( ‘SUBDOMAIN_INSTALL’,
   false ); $base = ‘/<user>/wordpress/’; define( ‘DOMAIN_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘<webserver
   >.at’ ); define( ‘PATH_CURRENT_SITE’, ‘/<user>/wordpress/’ ); define( ‘SITE_ID_CURRENT_SITE’,
   1 ); define( ‘BLOG_ID_CURRENT_SITE’, 1 ); #if ( $_SERVER[“HTTP_HOST”] == “<webserver
   >.at” ) { # define(‘FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true); #} #define( ‘WP_CONTENT_URL’, ‘[http://<webserver&gt](http://<webserver&gt);.
   at/<user>/wordpress/wp-content’); #define(‘FORCE_SSL_LOGIN’, true); #define(‘
   FORCE_SSL_ADMIN’, true); ….
 * I have also tried the plugin “wp-multi-network”
    Site Admin –> Tools –> Networks:
   No change: Domain = http
 * my question is: how can I change the Domain from http to https?
 * many thanks
    Richard

 * You´ll have to go into your database(phpmyadmin) and sort out the (table)_options
 * Since now it’s pointing to http instead of https and therefore your styles etc
   might not work.
 * Look through the options table and tell me if you find it.
 * If that is not the problem then it’s prob badly configured ( Kinda unlikely but
   might be)
