[solved] Redirect error after successful Install from FreeBSD ports

[Oclair]

Hi there,

After successful install I am redirected to the front page to discover my site;

 

I am unable to get this to run!

 

Thanks in advance for any assistance,

Oclair

 

Too many redirects occurred trying to open “https://www.domain.tdl/prestashop/index.php”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.

 

/var/log/error.log returns

Following troubleshooting I enabled debug

 

 

Loading https://www.domain.tdl/prestashop/index.php

returns the following error message

 

[Debug] This page has moved

Please use the following URL instead: http://www.domain.tdl/prestashop/index.php

 

why is prestashop attempting to redirect away from https?

It is an ecommerce solution isn't it?

[Oclair]

as ridiculous as it seems once I turned off SSL it worked....

 

 

Unless I missed something, I ask the following question;

Why is https/SSL on install not supported or documented it is not supported?

[Oclair]

What is the proper configuration for apache enabling https?

[Oclair]

Solved it myself, I asked google and found this
