I get this error when trying to fix storage symlink in Geekshop backend.

symlink() has been disabled for security reasons.

It looks like your server has disabled the ability to create symlinks. Can you contact your hosting provider and ask them to enable it and it should work out fine. If they can not post back here and I can see what else we can do to help you out with that :)

Thanks. Talk to you soon.

Hello

My hosting provider has now enabled it and it's working now.

Could you please tell me how to redirect my website from http:// to https://?

Thanks.

Great, glad you got the images working. Do you have an SSL setup. You need to purchase an SSL in order to use https:// in your URL, this is where you should be adding the https redirects, inside of public/.htaccess you should add the following inside of the <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> block:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

Hope that helps :)

Thanks.
