"partial encryption"

[Guest]

What I'm finding is that there is no end to the number of people having this or similar problems when enabling SSL.

 

I have set up everything according to the .pdf and online documentation and in the CATALOG I get a "Partial encryption" padlock (firefox) for both login and checkout. No padlock at all in IE.

 

I have tried many of the suggested solutions including the most common: changing the define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mySite.com'); to define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.mySite.com'); to no avail.

 

The above suggestion does secure the desired areas in the CATALOG but once active it remains padlocked when going back into unsecured areas and slows the entire system down.

 

When the documentation version is applied to the the ADMIN functions (using https://www.mysite.com/catalog/admin/) yields a full padlock at the Admin splash screen (Firefox) but with a "You are not protected by a secure SSL connection." message. Attempts to go any further are met with Error 404. The result is the same with IE. The error messages become more cryptic if changing define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mySite.com'); to define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.mySite.com');

 

Both of these sites worked perfectly before SSL was enabled, and I even took a sale all the way through to Paypal taking their cut.

I am open to try and retry any suggestions made and promise to post the solution when it is eventually found.

I double checked and when I return from the shopping cart back to store categories the https changes back to http. This is the exact coding I added to my configure.php inside my includes folder and it seems to be working for me (borrowed from another user on this forum). The first http below is http singular. Here is what I added:

 

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://yourserver.com'); define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://yourserver.com'); define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');

meant "yoursite.com" not "yourserver"...
