Server wont download images from https urls

    Hi,

    I have a site that allows users to upload images. Users can either upload the image from their Hard drive or enter the url of the image if its already somewhere on the internet

    When the users upload using url, and if the url has https in front, the image is not fetched by the website, however, if the url of the image has http in front, things go smooth.

    For instance,

    if a user enters the image url : https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/header/t1Hdr_buyerLanding01_760x156.jpg

    It fais, but when its http://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/header/t1Hdr_buyerLanding01_760x156.jpg - Things go perfectly smooth

    However, it doesn't seem to be a coding issue, its a server issue because things were working perfectly on the previous hosting. The problem first started when the site was moved from a shared hosting to dedicated server.

    So if you guys to help me identify the problem, i would be able to fix it, but right now, i am blank about how to fix it.

    Hello there,

    Have you logged into the server and tried to open those links via lynx or tried to download them via wget?

    Regards,
    Chris

    It means that you dont have an SSL certificate installed, or if you do, then it is not configured properly.
