SSL Configurations

Hello,

I have just set up an SSL Certificate via my host.

What configurations should I now make or check within Perch in order to be set up correctly?

e.g. PERCH_SSL does this go in my config file?

And do I need to add anything to my perch runtime ?

Help appreciated

If SSL is configured on your web server, you shouldn't need to do anything with Perch.

The PERCH_SSL setting is useful for if you have a mixed HTTP and HTTPS site and want to force some pages to use HTTPS. This switch enables to you bypass that when working in a dev environment with no HTTPS available. It's not so common these days as most sites are going full-HTTPS.

Perfect!

Thank you Drew.
