Redirect http to https after installing Let's Encrypt Certificate?

[sentinelace]

sorry had a typo. Just need http to redirect automatically to the https site when users type the http url

Doesn’t LetsEncrypt need to be port 80

No. LE renewal must happen on port 80, but it’s not required that you dedicate port 80 for this purpose. It can also be used for UCP. I renew my recommendation that you set UCP to ports 80 and 443 with redirect enabled.

what should LE be set to then in sysadmin?

[spioli (Santiago Pioli)]

LE can only work on port 80 since it’s the port where the challenge is being made by design.
What I think Lorne meant was that after you get the certificate -and for the next 90 days- you could set UCP on port 80 ( and 433 for Https) and until you need to renew your certs.

@lgaetz

<?php
$basename = pathinfo($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'],PATHINFO_DIRNAME);
$uri = (!empty($basename) && $basename != '/') ? $basename . '/ucp' : '/ucp';
header('Location: '.$uri);

So auto renew will be broken? I don’t want to mess with the ports all the time.

I just don’t want to keep changing. We have too many systems to reminder. I want it to autorenew as well without touching it
