We switched to Labs hoping that it would bring us HTTPS, but apparently not. I created an instance with this enabled: - role::lamp::labs - certificates::star_wmflabs_org But Firefox says "Unable to connect": https://i-000008da.pmtpa-proxy.wmflabs.org Am I missing something? What should I do to allow visitors to connect via SSL?
Nope, HTTPS is currently unsupported on labs. Work is currently underway to rectify/improve this situation. Someone who is actually directly involved in making this work should be able to give you a suggested timeframe till it should work.
Sam, thanks for confirming the problem! Could you please switch this report from UNCONFIRMED to CONFIRMED? Thanks! Also: Marking as major, as it makes Wikivoyage's dynamic maps unusable for most users (they don't notice the SSL mixed-protocol icon, and just see a blank square where the map should be).
We have a new dynamic proxy that has HTTPS and also allows you to have a nice DNS name that doesn't include instance-proxy. I'll ping yuvi, who's managing this, tomorrow.

I'm not sure I understand but https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/pcount works just fine.
Question: why is a separate instance required? I would have thought that hosting it at a page like tools.wmflabs.org/wikivoyage/poimap would work.
@torty: I would be glad to use the place you mention if someone grants me read/write access to it. Anywhere is fine as long as it can run our PHP script over HTTPS. @Cyberpower678: Interesting! Any idea how they achieved this? @Ryan: Any news about the dynamic proxy?

Nothing special to it.
Do you mean you created a "public_html" folder in your user home? I have no such folder here, so I have put everything in /var/www and it mostly works (for a few hours before becoming 404, see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54059 different problem) I guess these pages could use more detailed explanations: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Lamp_Instance https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:LAMP_issues

What's the status on this ticket? Is this something I can work on? (I am a new volunteer).
This has been fixed now. If you are using your own instance, use Special:NovaProxy on wikitech to create a https enabled proxy. If you're using toollabs, you already have https.
