How do you set up a Concrete site to use HTTPS?

Answer: To set up a Concrete site to use HTTPS, follow these steps:

1. Obtain an SSL Certificate: Get an SSL certificate from a trusted Certificate Authority (CA).

2. Install the SSL Certificate: Install the certificate on your web server (e.g., Apache, Nginx) according to the server configuration.

3. Update Concrete Configuration: In your Concrete installation, go to the dashboard and navigate to the “System & Settings” -> “SEO & Statistics”. Set the “Site URL” to use `https://`.

4. Redirect HTTP to HTTPS: Configure your web server to redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS, typically by modifying the .htaccess file for Apache or the server block for Nginx.

5. Check Mixed Content: Ensure all resources (images, scripts, etc.) are loaded over HTTPS to avoid mixed content warnings.

6. Test the Setup: Access your site using `https://` and verify that the SSL certificate is valid and there are no security warnings.

7. Update External Links: If applicable, update any external links, bookmarks, or references to use the HTTPS version.

By following these steps, your Concrete site will be securely accessible over HTTPS.
