How did you install Discourse? This happens when you didn’t setup HTTPS properly.

I had a linux specialist helped me installing. He might have missed something though. If you could steer me to the right direction I am sure he will make things right asap.

Looks like the specialist failed to follow the [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true) guide.
You need to set `force_https` to true. It can be done by adding an ENV var for `DISCOURSE_FORCE_HTTPS: true` in your app.yml and rebuilding.

OK, great. Will relay your advice to the specialist and see if we can fix it.
You guys are awesome. Much appreciated!

I’m suddenly getting this error but only when uploading from a mobile device, not from a desktop. I tried logging into the console to do the “RAILS C” and “sitesetting.force\_https = true” command but I got a “command not found” error.
I do not see “force https” in the forum’s admin settings.
Can someone provide the steps for the “ENV Var” step above? Thank you for your time.

Try setting it in your app.yml file instead.

Thank you for the suggestion. I included the entry, saved the file and followed the process of rebuilding from here:

They can store sensitive data like API keys and database passwords, making your installation more secure and flexible. In Discourse, environmental variables are set in the app.yml file within your Docker container setup…
After trying again with a cleared cache on the browser, I am able to pass the “processing upload” from a mobile browser. Thanks!

This specialist did a [standard install](https://meta.discourse.org/t/142537?silent=true). Inside the container I get this:
```plaintext
# set|grep FORCE_HTTP
DISCOURSE_FORCE_HTTPS=true
```
And the behavior is that uploads on mobile don’t work ,but on mobile, switching to the Desktop View makes uploads work:

> I’m making the distinction that I’m still on my phone, but using the “view as website as desktop” or force it to NOT use mobile mode. When I change to that mode on my phone, it uploads fine. Which makes me think it’s not a problem with my phone’s performance. Should switching between desktop view and mobile view really do much?

> But after a while, I’m now getting it again. It’s just really inconsistent. Does javascript code change between the mobile/desktop modes in the same browser? See here:

@noid --what mobile browser and OS are you using?
