phpMyFAQ requires HTTP even though the Browser uses HTTPS (behind a proxy)

[trienow]

Describe the bug
I am running multiple services on the host and have phpMyFAQ in a docker container.

"User" <=HTTPS=> "nginx proxy" <=INTERNAL HTTP=> "apache for phpMyFAQ"

Between the User and my host, I have got HTTPS activated.
However, internally inside my host, I use HTTP for performance.

phpMyFAQ instructs my Browser to load the assets via HTTP (see screenshot below).
This does not work, as the site was loaded via HTTPS initially.

I was unable to log in yet.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open the site and try to log in

Expected behavior
Would it be possible to use relative paths instead, so the Browser can decide which scheme to use?

Did you configured the https URL in the phpMyFAQ admin configuration?

Hi Thorsten, thanks for getting back to me.

Unfortunately, I cannot log in to change the configuration. Is there a way to set a config file to make it work?
I went through the config directory and the documentation, but did not spot any setting. I am sorry if I missed it. Would you mind pointing me into the right direction?

Cheers!

@trienow do you have database access via e.g. phpMyAdmin?

[trienow]

Hi, yes I do via the postgre SQL shell.

[thorsten]

Look for the entry "main.referenceURL" in the table "faqconfig" and add "https" to the URL.

Hi Thorsten, thank you very much! It now works perfectly :)
