Set-up Cloudflare's SSL on a joomla site running on 000webhost.com

[matt233]

Hi. Im trying to set-up the Cloudflare’s SSL connection to my site hosted on 000webhost.com (the free plan).
When i tryed force SSL, the site didn’t responde and chrome get the ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error.
If I use https://trixservices.it the site load, but i have a lot of mixed contet errors.
I’ve try follow many guides, but my site still does not work.
Can someone help me?
thanks a lot!
My domain is: trixservices.it

I ran this command: I tryed force SSL “entire site”

It produced this output: Chrome output : ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: 000WebHost.com

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): no

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): only the 000webhost panel

I don't see a loop, but two wrong redirects and one missing. Checking your 4 standard combinations:

http + non-www - no redirect. There should be a redirect to https.

https + non-www - no redirect, this is good.

This is a redirect http + www -> http + non-www, this is wrong. That should be http + www -> https + www.

This is definitively wrong: https + www to http. https should never redirect to http.

Then check your mixed content. FireFox or Chrome (Desktop), Ctrl + Shift + I, then the console. There you see the wrong links.

So CSS- and JavaScript files are missing.
