echo Yii::app()->createAbsoluteUrl('site/index'); 

it always returns http://mydomainname.com/site/index .

my expected result is https://mydomainname.com/site/index .

How to create url using https?

Answer 1

try it

 Yii::app()->createAbsoluteUrl('site/index', array(), 'https'); 

Answer 2

Modify the .htaccess file in the project folder and add these lines. It will redirect all HTTP traffic to https.

 RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mydomainname.com/$1 [R,L] 

Answer 3

Try changing the host

'components' => array (... 'request' => array ('HostInfo' => ' https://mydomainname.com ',), ...),

Answer 4

"One shot" is to set https:// in the baseUrl parameter from the configuration:

... 'components' => array( ... 'request' => array( 'baseUrl' => ' https://mydomainname.com/site', ), ... ),

Answer 5

It is best to create a regular UrlManager implementation, as described here:

The advantage is that your users do not have to suffer from unnecessary double redirects every time you have a genuine redirect.
