for what purpose you would want to create an https site ? especially a forum ? :huh: what you want to save ? it will load for a lot of people in the world a lot of times slower :) it is really good if you really want to save/secure something, like credit card stuff and etc. but why for a forum ? :S

No, that's just an example. I want to protect my users from losing important information like their password (many people use the same password for different sites). I also need a https for something else. I'm learning HTTPS in PHP. And I need a place to test my scripts. I can't do that without a https enabled server.

Quatrux , well I think its good that HTTPs is used , and it doesnot slow any thing if things are configured properly and properly written website is used. There is an overhead but its negligible..considering the performance of webservers these days.i think http , telnet and ftp should just be dropped in favor of https , ssh and sftp

it slows down things to many people in the world, because it is a different protocol than http and most isp has set it to a low value, like browsing/downloading through http protocol I get more than 1MB/s and browsing https than I need to login to my bank account, 12-100kb/s in my country, in foreign even slower, like I remember it was almost imposible to browse firefox extensions/themes pages.

We just need https for important information only. The https page just be called once when user login or send somekind of secret data. So, the connection speed doesn't matter.

Well if you could look into phpinfo of the server you would find this:it is compiled: --with-opensslRegistered PHP Streams - php, http, ftp, https, ftps, compress.zlibin apache version: mod_ssl/2.8.25 OpenSSL/0.9.7a and mod_ssl is loadedOpenSSL support enabledVersion: OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003and many more in the info :huh: so it is enabled. :)

No, it's not. My home PC has those lib. That doesn't mean Xisto server is https enabled. As far as I know, https require dedicated IP. So, I think https can't be used here.
