Redmine

I have been running Remine for years, updated it several times with no trouble, experience of configuring Apache and of creating keys and certificates but NOT of Ruby and Rails as a programmer.

I have just installed the server key and certificate and they are fine and https works. But the links within Redmine are http.

I gather from random pages that RequestHeader set X_FORWARDED_PROTO 'https' is good and that does indeed change the problem.

But both the http and https services are on non-standard ports not least as that makes my "redmine" user need no privileges (with a little DNAT).

Now the links are https which is good but not to the actual https port. I gather tweaking ssl_option is in in order and changed the line in my configuration.rb so it said

@ssl_options = { port : 8443 }

but obviously the syntax wasn't right.

Please could the documentation be fixed with a complete guide on HTTPS setup particularly where non-standard (TCP) ports are used. I have found mentions in the forums but it hasn't helped me.

It would be reasonable to assume the business of preparing keys and certificates and dealing with Apache is documented elsewhere many times over.

Thank you.
