Description:
I'm trying to enable SSL on prestashop in an aws ec2.
I give the instance an elastic_ip for a static address.
I can connect using http with the public dns of the instance.
I point the DNS of my domain "shop.glowsystems.co.uk" to the static IP. I can then connect using my domain name, both with HTTP and HTTPS. With https the browser complians about the certificate.
I run bncert-tool turning off all www to non_www redirection. The tool completes with out error.
Now when I try to connect with http. The page will not open with "to many redirects".

I have now tried running the bncert-tool with the HTTP to https redirection turned off, as well as the www to non_www redirection. I can now get into the site but HTTPS always reverts to http.
Thanks

Since the configuration changed with the bncert-tool, could you run the bnsupport-tool again so I can check your current configuration?

Hi Michiel

Here is the bnsupport_tool output for the current situation "bc9915dd-96b4-ed59-853b-ab5d0fa174b5". This has HTTPS requests turning into HTTP. The previous situation had bncert-tool adding HTTP to HTTPS so the two would explain the redirects problem.

The only other thing I ran was "sudo /opt/bitnami/apps/prestashop/bnconfig --machine_hostname shop.glowsystems.co.uk http://shop.glowsystems.co.uk/"

The DNS table has an A record for shop.glowsystems.co.uk http://shop.glowsystems.co.uk/, and a CNAME record www.shop.glowsystems.co.uk http://www.shop.glowsystems.co.uk/.

Over the weekend I've done some research. I find that Prestashop sets wether https/http is used. If Apache also tries to set https/http the two are competing and setting off the redirect races. So this query is solved. Now the problem is getting bitnami apache configuration and prestashop to agree. No doubt I will contact you later.
