Joomla 3.9.19
CB 2.4.5
I don’t know if this is a CB problem or not.
We have HTTPS forced on our entire live site (server setting) which is fine, and indeed desirable. I downloaded an Akeeba backup and used it to install a local copy of the site in XAMPP on my Windows PC using Kickstart.
The restore using Kickstart includes an option to override the server setting so that the forcing to HTTPS doesn’t occur. However, when I try to log in on the front-end using the CB login module HTTPS is being prepended to the link as in https://localhost:8080/testsite/index.php/cb-login and, obviously, I get an error (Error code: SSL_ERROR_RX_RECORD_TOO_LONG).
I do not have an SSL certificate for my XXAMPP/Apache setup so don’t use HTTPS on my test site; I have checked that Force HTTPS in the Joomla configuration is set to None. I am at a loss to know what to do to prevent the forced HTTPS when logging in, even though I have spent hours searching for an answer.
Is there a setting I should be changing somewhere in CB and/or CBSubs that I have overlooked? I have looked everywhere I could think of and found nothing.
I wouldn’t know what to change in a XAMPP file e.g. htaccess.
I don’t have any problem logging in to the backend.
At the moment I am considering taking the live site offline, turning off the force HTTPS setting, then taking a backup to try another restore on my local installation before turning the server setting back on. As things stand, I have a virtually unusable test site.
Thank you
