AWS Certificate manager x OJS redirect rule

Software Support
1

Afternoon, i’ve been having some redirect issues with ojs on aws … i created a load balancer and then assigned it to my instance. But when i run the query to load the site it keeps redirecting… ive tried the restful_urls = On and trust_x_forwarded_for = On to allow me to use the query below in my httpd.conf file however i keep getting an infinite loop. Is it possible to tell me where or how i can find the redirect queries within ojs? as it seems the application keeps overriding what we put in.

<VirtualHost :80>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} =http
RewriteRule . https://%{HTTP:Host}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=permanent]

Below are a few curl queries i run to show you the process.
