So I'm currently doing a fresh install of vBulletin® Version 5.6.4 and I ran into a major issue. I'm currently using DirectAdmin as my web hosting control panel and PHP 7.2 site is uncensoredpatriots.com



I can do a complete install of vBulletin without any issues on a http link. However when I Install vBulletin using https I essentially get a white screen. I contacted my web hosting provider thinking this was a SSL certificate issue. But it's not. What essentially happens is after the completion of the installation process using https. When I delete the install folder it breaks the entire website. Now if I do the install using http everything functions properly. But as soon as I go into options Site URLs and Routing and update the site from http to https it essentially breaks the site.



After playing with some old codes on the vBulletin forums. I've come up with the conclusion this is .htaccess related issue.



I'm not a programmer or a coder. So does anybody have a code that would work for https .htaccess the current code I have is what's included with vBulletin.





Code:




RewriteEngine On

# In some cases where you have other mod_rewrite rules, you may need to remove the
# comment on the following RewriteBase line and change it to match your folder name.
# This resets the other mod_rewrite rules for just this directory
# If your site was www.example.com/forum, the setting would be /forum/
#RewriteBase /

#If you used friendly urls in vB4, then uncommenting the following rules will redirect the #
#old vB4 urls to a similar location in vB5. This is unnecesary for a new vB5 install.
#RewriteRule ^threads/.* showthread.php [QSA]

#To redirect users to the secure version of your site, uncomment the lines below
