Access via HTTPS shows no stylesheet or images

Got selfoss installed on Ubuntu Server 12.04.
Works great via http://server/selfoss.
Also works great via http://mydomain.com/selfoss (from outside, over the Internet).

But I want to access it via HTTPS so I can connect from over the Internet from another location securely. When I do this (https://mydomain.com/selfoss), the page loads but only in plaintext. CSS stylesheets and images are missing.

Is there a way to make it work via HTTPS?

It is working for me. Maybe you forget to include "SSLEngine on" on the apache configuration?

No joy :-(

I checked /etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl and it already has "sslengine on" enabled.

Where could I be going wrong? I looked at this and I'm not sure where the virtual hosts file is. There is an example of virtualhost settings at the bottom of that page, but which file do I put that in?

Fixed! It was the AllowOverride None, changed to AllowOverride All. Solved!

Hi all,

I had the same issue, but the AllowOverride All wasn't enough to solve the problem: the web page produced by index.php was presented (which is ok), but with no images nor style.

The problem was an error 404 on:
https://server/selfoss/all.js
https://server/selfoss/all.css
and all the files in /var/www/selfoss/public

If this information can help someone, let me explain how I solved my issue:

1/ I made up a selfoss Directory for Selfoss in my Apache conf:

Alias /selfoss "/var/www/selfoss"
<Directory "/var/www/selfoss">
Options FollowSymLinks
Order Allow,Deny
Allow From All
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

2/ I copied the content of /var/www/selfoss/.htaccess in this Directory tag.

3/ I commented out the line:
RewriteBase /selfoss

4/ I deleted the /var/www/selfoss/.htaccess file

5/ Restart Apache, clean caches, access Selfoss and enjoy.

I guess that the "AllowOverride All" line is no more necessary, and maybe that a more obvious and cleaner solution exists, but that's my 2 cents for today.

Jean-Claude.
