Browsers on my computer force https

When I installed Server on my computer last Summer, I had a little trouble with it, not having had any prior experience with servers. In the end I abandonned the project, because it turns out that the site hosted on my computer was only showing up on my local network, plus my ISP didn't provide static IPs at all, and there were a couple of other reasons. But when I turned Server off, I lost access to my site from my computer (not the other computers on my network). I've narrowed down the problem: when I try to access my site, every browser I have installed changes the URL from an http:// to https://, and shows and Apache server default root, brandishing "Index of /" and no files, because I emptied the original root folder. But even with server off and quit, I couldn't get to my site if my life depended on it.
Any advice?

Hello,
I can't give you a proper answer for Windows Vista, but I think that your problem might have more to do with the OS configuration rather than with Firefox or IE.
In the guidelines to solve Firefox related problems, it is said:
"Does the problem happen in IE as well? If so, it's a problem on the system, not Firefox."
Also Firefox has a configuration file for each user, which is called prefs.js.
I hope it helps. Let's see if some more experienced user can enlighten the subject.

Can I install Firefox on my Mac OS X desktop also if my browser is Safari (two browsers on one computer)?

I want to use Firefox for a particular link which only accepts Firefox. I use Safari since my computer man said Firefox had stopped making a version which could update my newly-installed iMac OS X 10.8.3. Stupid question: can I have both Firefox and Safari installed on my computer without tremendous problems?

Yes, you can have two browsers or more installed in your computer.

Computer forcing me to restart - HELP!

Not impressed, 2 months out of apple care... Every now and then the computer forces me to restart, the screen darkens and tells me I have to restart.
I reformatted (10.6), used the computer for a bit - it's happening again. Here is part of what came up after this last time, I don't know how to make sense of it.

Download and run Rember-Memory Test to check your RAM.
You may also want to boot from the Apple Hardware Test disk and run the Extended test in a loop (Control + L during test). Let it run for several loops as it sometimes take a while for intermittent issues to surface.

How to force HTTPS on a page

We have registration forms and other pages that collect personal details from users who are registering for the site or submitting other transactions (other than shopping cart purchases). By default these pages are delivered using HTTP under the main website.
We need these pages to be secured using HTTPS. How can we force HTTPS on these pages?
Thanks,
Colin

Only way on BC is javascript
eg:
var secureURL = "yourdomain.worldsecuresystems.com";
if ((window.location.protocol == "http:" || location.hostname != secureURL) && location.search.search("A=Template") == -1 && location.search.search("Preview") == -1) window.location = "https://"+secureURL+window.location.pathname;

After removing force https can I get Firefox to quit redirecting me from google classic to google SSL?

I was using Force https, and have since removed it. I am being redirected, however, to google SSL and cannot load the google classic page. I do not want to use SSL (https://encrypted.google.com). How do I get Firefox to direct me to the correct website as I enter it (www.google.com)? I have tried clearing my cache and cookies, as well as reading suggestions on google's forums. Help please? Thanks!

Is forcing Http tunneling mode possible ?

Hello,
in order to make some tests between 2 PC on the same intranet, I would like to know if it's possible to force RMI to use http tunneling, and to choose the mode : http-to-port or http-to-cgi ?
If possible, please tell me how.
Many thanks in advance.
C. BREZAK

RMI depends on custom socket factories (sun.rmi.transport.proxy.RMIHttpToPortSocketFactory, sun.rmi.transport.proxy.RMIHttpToCGISocketFactory) for carrying out the HTTP tunneling of RMI request if normal way of establishing a connection with the remote object fails. If no particular RMI socket factory is set in RMI application, RMI runtime chooses the RMIMasterSocketFactory() for creating client and server sockets. This socket factory maintains a list of socket factories which should be tried in order in establishing a successful connection with the remote object. This list includes RMIDirectSocketFacotry and HTTP tunneling socket factories mentioned above if http.proxyHost proerty is set.
You can force HTTP tunneling by explicitly setting default socket factory (RMISocketFactory.setSocketFactory(...)) to sun.rmi.transport.proxy.RMIHttpToPortSocketFactory in the client application. If this fails you can try setting default socket factory to RMIHttpToCGISocketFactory. It may not be possible trying these two options in the same instance of the program, because setSocketFactory() does not allow you to change the already defined default factory to the new one. This may not be elegant solution.

Computer Forces Hard Shutdow and applications crash

Two problems:
1. Computer Forces Hard Shutdown - I have to press the power button for 4 seconds and then reboot machine.
2. All of my applications (word, safari, etc) will close out unexpectantly. I have to reopen and I start all over again.
I've had this macbook for almost a year now and have had these problems from day 1. I usually encounter one of the two problems mentioned about during each use. Often, it will happen more than once during a session.

Have you had all the updates done. Random shutdown was a problem for a while on the early MacBook. Did you talk to apple about it.
There are some fixes but you have to contact apple before they can help you.

Computer forced to restart when closing iTunes

I've updated to the newer versions of iTunes, and occasionally, when I shut down iTunes, the computer locks up and is forced to restart. Any ideas why?
Also--bring back the 'burn to disc' button!
Thanks!

i would try resetting your smc:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411

Firefox freezes and the freeze then rapidly spreads to the rest of the computer, forcing a cold reboot.

The problem started a few weeks back. I'd be browsing the web with several tabs open, when suddenly the browser would freeze, staying stuck on the spinning wheel.
At first it would only be Firefox that froze but in the space of several minutes the laptop would have stopped responding. I was also unable to force quite Firefox.
The two websites that seemed to be most likely to cause the crash were Kotaku.com and YouTube. I've noted that it would take about 20-30 minutes (sometimes more) for the problem to appear.

Does your computer run out of memory when this happens.
Try to keep an eye on the current memory usage to see what is happening.
You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting
Try to disable hardware acceleration in Firefox (you need to close and restart Firefox).
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from an existing profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem.

Fost Displaying Differently in Different Browsers on Same Computer

Why would a font display differently on the web page depending on the browser? If the font is installed on the computer (a Mac), isn't it available to all browsers?
The specific problem I am having is with Palatino shadow. (The shadow is important, as it increases the contrast of the text against the image background.) The shadow shows up in Safari but not in Firefox.
Why would this be?

Firefox doesn't do shadows in the current version.

ICICI Bank site throws up blank page upon login in Firefox (all versions) and other browsers on my computer, but works normally on some other computers

Till a few days back, ICICI net-banking site was opening up normally on both my systems (Windows XP SP3 and FreeBSD-10.1-i386). Since 18 December, the site throws up a blank page after the login credentials are entered. The site opens up normally on Firefox-34 on a computer system that belongs to a friend of mine. On my systems, reinstalling/upgrading Firefox does not help : I continue to get a blank page. The site URL is :
https://infinity.icicibank.co.in/BANKAWAY?Action.RetUser.Init.001=Y&AppSignonBankId=ICI&AppType=corporate&abrdPrf=N
Safe mode does not help. Even disabling all plug-ins and themes has no effect, just as clearing out cache and temporary files proved ineffective. Deleting profiles too did not help.
The site opens on FF-34 on my friend's computer (XP SP2) but does not open on FF (any version, including the same build as the one used on the friend's computer) or even Opera 26.0/Internet Explorer 8 on my system. IE gives the following diagnostics :

Force https on section of site

Hey all,
I have a site that needs a secure area. Online they are setup with their own SSL certificate and the host has the SSL mod enabled. I am trying to find a way to force the address to use https if the secure area of the site is accessed.
For example:
1. http://site.dev -> no redirect or rewrite
2. http://site.dev/secure -> redirect/rewrite to https://secure.site.dev
3. http://secure.site.dev -> r/r to https://secure.site.dev
4. http://secure.site.dev/* -> r/r to https://secure.site.dev/*
What the above examples currently do:
1. http://site.dev -> http://site.dev (good)
2. http://site.dev/secure -> https://site.dev/secure/
3. http://secure.site.dev -> http://secure.site.dev (But goes to the localhost site [It Works! default page] rather than attempting the unsecured access)
4. No sub folders to try this yet
If I type in https://secure.site.dev it goes right where it is supposed to using the SSL.
Currently I am attempting to do this with two virtual hosts and some rewrite code in the .htaccess file of the secure folder.
-- Vhost Example
<VirtualHost *:80>
 ServerName site.dev
 DocumentRoot /path/to/public/folder/for/vhost
 Redirect /secure/ https://secure.site.dev
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:443>
 ServerName secure.site.dev
 DocumentRoot /path/to/public/secure/folder/for/vhost
 SSLEngine on
 SSLCertificateFile /path/to/cert/file.crt
 SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key/file.key
</VirtualHost>
-- .htaccess (in public/secure folder)
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^/(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R,L]
-- End of examples
Thanks in advance

Hi
I am not sure then what you mean by a Public Website when you are authenticating users ? There is a difference in both and that difference arises from the fact that Public sites could be accessed by any user without any login credentials.
It should be applied only for one section if at all that section deems to be brought under some security access.
I will put an example for the same :
Say a Mobile Service provider has public site and any one can access the same and read through the information on the pages without any authentications but the moment you want to check your personal connection details then you will be prompted for the same.
Even though this is a public site but there are sections that you need to have security enabled for the real users.
In this sort of scenario I would suggest to put the security group for that section alone to be a secured on (not a a Guest access role).
Hope this clarifies and helps
Thanks
Srinath

Force http traffic to specific interface

Just setup a 2801 router. We have a Serial interface card on it connected to a T1 and eth1 connected to DSL. We want to force web traffic (http, https, ftp) to use the DSL connection. I tried a simple access-list to allow http to the DSL and deny to the T1, however it didn't seem to work. Then I noticed that in the SDM it has "default" rultes that always enable http. Do I need to disable the http server to get this access list to work or is there an easier way to force web traffic to a specific interface?
Thanks in advance.

I setup the route-map and access-list and applied it to FE 0/1 (DSL connection), however it still appears nothing is going through that interface. When I monitor it in the SDM, it shows 0% bandwidth usage.
Just to double check I unplugged the DSL to see if web traffic stopped, but it was still going, I assume through the T1 at S 0/2/0.
FE 0/0 goes to our fw, then to lan
FE 0/1 goes to DSL
S 0/2/0 goes to T1
Here is my config:
