Stumped on this issue. Not seeing any JS or Python errors. I just upgraded to see if that would fix the issue, but it did not. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, I am open.

Is this consistent across browsers/versions? We fixed an issue in IE a
few weeks ago that appeared identical to what you are observing. Can
you replicate it on the demo site? And a fresh installation?

Josh:

Are you running behind a web server? We faced the same problem when running with gunicorn and nginx with ssl. In our case, we had to set some additional nginx proxy options to get it to do the right thing:

location / {

proxy_redirect off;

proxy_set_header Host $host;

proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Protocol ssl;

proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;

client_max_body_size 10m;

}

You can also search for "static_proxy", which relate to how mezzanine proxies the content for TinyMCE to avoid cross-site-scripting blockers.

Take care,

Lorin

Thanks Guys. Lorin your solution fixed it for me. I had to take out the "proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Protocol ssl;" since I am not running SSL.

Probably need to add this to the docs for other people.

Not sure if that was in the nginx.conf provided by Mezzanine at some point, but it's currently the following which should work either way:

proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Protocol $scheme;

I was wondering if anyone has an equivalent apache conf settings to fix this issue. I am getting blank html screen when ssl is enabled. Inside virtualhost I have following:

RequestHeader set X-Forwarded-Proto "https"

ProxyRequests Off

ProxyPreserveHost On

ServerName www.myservername.com

SSLProxyEngine on

SSLEngine On

SSLCertificateFile path_to.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile path_to.key

Thanks
