Https:// suddenly redirecting to http://

Community Support Web
1

Part 1.
HCP v1.8.12
domain valid.
Let’s Encrypt SSL installed - and previously worked.
https://apps.cleverapps.online/sales-manager/ quickly redirects to http:// and is unsecure.

Part 2.
This domain hosts a React Web app I am developing with assistance from Claude.ai. (just fyi)

Claude has recommended change to Apache2 config:

# Force HTTPS for the entire domain
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
    RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]
</IfModule>

# Proxy configuration
<Location /sales-manager>
    SSLProxyEngine On
    ProxyPass http://localhost:3001/
    ProxyPassReverse http://localhost:3001/
    RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"
    RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Port "443"
    ProxyPreserveHost On
</Location>

# Additional SSL Headers
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    Header always set Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains"
</IfModule>

And to add proxy extensions settings:

/sales-manager proxy:localhost:3001

The Proxy Extension I can do in HCP Web. The change to the Apache2 config for the domain app.cleverapps.online I have no idea where to edit/place.

Any ideas guys? Thank you!
Edward

I guess the issue is not Apache2 but Nginx.

Show the output of this command (replace YourUser by the actual user):

That looks fine.

Show the output of these commands (replace YourUser):

Did you realize nginx.conf and nginx.ssl.conf are empty?

Could you please rebuild your domain?

v-rebuild-web-domain edwardc apps.cleverapps.online yes

Odd. I blame Claude.ai

sed: -e expression #16, char 355: unknown option to `s'
sed: -e expression #16, char 355: unknown option to `s'
sed: -e expression #16, char 355: unknown option to `s'

Also, https:// to http:// issue still exists.

Did you modify the template hosting?

Debug the command and show the output (the output will be large so you should share it using some site like pastebin or similar):

bash -x /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-rebuild-web-domain edwardc apps.cleverapps.online yes

I think this is what you have asked for… wow… thank you for your kind assistance

Remove that from proxy extensions, that is causing the errors.

Done. Removed those proxy extensions and https:// is working again.

Thank you.
