Https problems

I’m having a problem but don’t know what is causing it so I don’t know
exactly where to post, please bear with me.

I’m trying to set up https access however whenever I go to
https://url_for_site
the root route renders but the url is rewritten to http://url_for_site.
The ssl request shows in the apache logs but obviously no further ssl
requests show up. I’ve tried several tutorials and ideas and nothing
I do makes any difference.

I’m using Apache 2.2 with Mongrel on Windows.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Glen

Please post your https virtualhost…

Do you have any .htaccess files anywhere?

I haven’t created any .htaccess files so if any they are defaults in
default locations.

Well, I seem to be running in circles. I’ll try posting to the
mongrel list maybe the problem lies there?

Sorry was away… Do you have any rails plugins installed?

If you try https://yourhost/images/someimage.jpg does that serve the
image in https?

Is there anything in the rails log about redirect? or maybe the apache
logs?

Yes to all three.

I have will_paginate installed. Although as a gem not “as a plugin”

images are served in https

and in the log I get the following:
Redirected to http://

Glen could you post the entire message including the initial request
from the rails log.

Nevermind, that was a redirect due to a session timeout. Here is the
rails log when I request the main page without the timeout issue (it
still doesn’t render https without the timeout):
