If you don't mind: Please post onto the TextAreaSupport component page directly.
Thx.

Happy to help. I will post my observations over on the other thread regarding the TextAreaSupport issue.

Thank you very much for your helpful feedback, BlkWolf.
Perhaps you can find the reason for that mysterious TextareaSupport issue, too.
Honestly, I still have no idea what was causing it.
This component isn't - aside from a little larger size of 500k - in any way special.

Ah yes. Thank you for the link. I was at the time, running into similar and was attempting to contribute to another's issue post who appeared to have same struggles. Apologies if I added confusion there.

ISSUE UPDATE RESOLVED:
Upon further investigation I was able to find that when enabling SSL, that SSL is more restrictive on the AllowOverride. For myself, I had to go into my apache's default-ssl.conf and include the following to set AllowOverride specifically for for ssl.

            <Directory /var/www/html>
              AllowOverride All
            </Directory>

Once restart performed, https:// site comes up w/ all js/css calls.

Investigation found that issue was not modsecurity being triggered in this case. While testing, no modsecurity rules where triggered. This was verified by monitoring the mod_security logs for activity.

Cheers all.

I meant this one:

I'd give it a try and disable mod_security and see if it makes a difference.

Good day to yourself ~Z~
Apologies on my part. I am not aware of a pending question you had for myself regarding a different topic. I searched this forum and could not find any topic I was involved on that subject. May I trouble you for a link to the discussion board where you have a question pending for myself?

I wanted to make sure this challenge was documented for any who may experience after and help provide an article that could address it for them in the future, in hopes to help someone else who may run into the same.

Thanks again.

It's not that we're not willing to look into this new issue,
but lately you reported problems while installing TextareaSupport and I'm still waiting for your feedback.
