Configuring SSL

[chasquad]

Here is the situation:

 

My domain name is hosted elsewhere and people are forwarded to my web site host. So, if someone enters in "mydomain.com" in their web browser, they are sent to my web hosted site which the real URL is actually "http://hostname.com/username/foldername/index.php"

 

All works fine except for SSL

 

I have changed the configure.php file for the SSL connection. Here is what happens:

 

When someone goes to checkout, they never see the padlock in their broswer although the URLs in the status bar are https. The URL kept is the browser is always "http://mydomain.com" (which is what I like, and want) but I also want the padlock to display in the browser status bar.

 

If I use my full web hosted path "http://hostname.com/username/foldername/index.php" URL in my browser and go to the checkout section, I see the padlock.

 

How can I change the configure.php file so that I can make the padlock show up for the customers?

Any help with this would be appreciated!

 

Thanks!

What you report is confusing to those reading it. In one place you say

the URLs in the status bar are https

and in another

The URL kept is the browser is always "http://mydomain.com"

 

Which is it - it can't be both at the same time.

 

The address of your website would help us identify the problem, and it also help if you tell us if you have a full ssl cert or shared.

Sorry for the confusion. The URL in the status bar is the one located at the bottom left-hand corner of Internet Explorer which shows the URL that the user is actually going to. The Address bar in the Internet Explorer is always http://mydomain.com (it never changes for the user).

 

I am using a shared certificate provided by my web host.

Well I can tell you one thing.

 

There shouldn't be two slashes in the middle of your urls

 

For example, the 'my account' link in your header points to

 

*https://secure.bluehost.com/~saveanta//charlessimpson1/account.php?osCsid=etc etc etc

 

Look in the the /includes/configure.php file, you've got a slash at the end of one pathway and at the beginning of another. In general, that could be ok, but in this case, those 2 paths get joined ...and when it puts those 2 paths together it leaves you with 2 slashes in your url.

You're using frames, so of course the page is always going to show no padlock - because the frame page never switches to https.
