SSL Certificate on Basekit

[GeorgeB]

I am hosted with Hostgator.com, and I used their program "basekit" to build my website.

It has had a SSL certificate on the domain, since the day I built it.

I had mod rewrite enabled to always show https in the address bar. Never had an issue with it.

Now all of a sudden, if you went to view the website, it would show the content and pictures all distorted.

Well now Hostgator claims that you cannot use a SSL certificate with basekit or the distortion will happen. I find that some BS, since it has been on it for over 2 years, and NEVER happened before.

Does anyone know what I can do to get it to work like it did before?

I currently have the modrewrite code cut out so the site will display properly, but I need the SSL to show up for security with my customers.

Only thing Hostgator is telling me, is to switch programs, but I am not taking the time to re do the entire site. I dont have the time for that crap.

I assume this is a shared hosting account? Maybe PM me the url you are talking about and I can see if I can see anything obvious, or pm the url and the htaccess. Not sure what basekit is or how it works. Usually you shouldn't need to use mod_rewrite to have an https in the url I don't think.

Apparently, Hostgator was telling the truth. Apparently Basekit, recently changed their system, and now their platform is no longer compatible to work with SSL certificates.

After hours of searching, I finally found an article on their website, that stated that Basekit was not compatible to work with SSL certificates.

This had to have been very recent, because for over 2 years, you could access the site using https with no issues.

This sucks, because most clients dont like entering info if they feel the site is not secured.

Hi, so did Basekit made changes on their end for this to work if I may ask?

Why do you respond to a 2 year old post?
