Hello,

I’m trying since about half an hour to get SSL-only on the  
administration  
panel of Woltlab burning board working, but without success. The rule  
will  
just be ignored.

What I currently have:  
location /acp/(._)$ {  
if ($server\_port = 80) {  
rewrite ^/(._)$ [https://forum/acp/$1](https://forum/acp/$1) redirect;  
}  
}

Thanks for any help! 🙂

Kind regards,  
Patrik Kernstock

Try:

server {  
server\_name forum;

```
...

 location ^~ /acp/ {
     return 301 https://forum$request_uri;
 }

```

}

server {  
server\_name forum;  
listen 443 ssl;

```
....

location / {
    return 301 http://forum$request_uri;
}

 location ^~ /acp/ {
     ...
 }

```

}

Thanks for your fast reply, Antonio!  
I forgot to say, that I try to only enable SSL on ACP on not for the  
rest of  
the forum 🙂
