Https Problems with contao

Question

Hi I just transfered a website from http development server to https production server.

As a result the page shows up but without files and assets and css. Browsers-Console says that it won't load inappropriate content from http sources. Why does contao do that, I thought all those assets and files are linked relative.

I did look for some settings that i might have to change but there is none.

Does anyone know anything about that. How can I switch properly to https ? kind regards martin

As @fritzmg knew it is a problem when you are behind proxies and contao cannot figure out if the request is http or https.

Adding this snippet to system/config/initconfig.php solves the problem

if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']) && 'https' === 
$_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO']) 
{ 
    $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 1; 
}
