SSL Image problem in explorer 7

[smbrayton]

Ok,

I am back and am still working on this issue. I have found that it waorks ok in IE6 and Mazoilla, but in IE7, which i have, the security issues come up with the images. 1and1 is forcing me to SSL the whole site, which is fine but the images are still not working. i have taken down my site and installed the basic os, to see if i can fix this issue. Now i find out in IE6 it shows HTTPS in the address bar but no gold padlock, i tried to talk to 1and1 but they are clueless. I have tried some of the fixes on the forum, but they do not seem to work. Any one have a clue on how to fix this. Than you for anyones help in this matter.

Ok,

Well perseverance has paid off on my part. If you are with 1and1, do not do what they say. Thay had me add the following to my htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} !^443$

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [R]

 

This will secure the whole site but will not allow the change to and configure.php file. I have followed the following advise without the 1and1changes and it works great on the basic install of os, i will upload my saved site and see what happens. Oh the advise that worked was the following:

Dedicated SSL

1change:

(getenv('HTTPS') == 'on')

 

to

(getenv('HTTPS') == '1')

 

in

includes/application_top.php

includes/functions/general.php

admin/index.php

Ok,

Well no help from the forum, no problem. I have the site secured and working fine. Still no lock on the admin, but no matter 1&1 allows for directory protection so i am running 2 layer password protection until i figure out the admin part. I can secure the whole site and it all works ok but i think it slows it down a bit, will test and we shall see. If anyone wants to check out the SSL on the site here is the address: www.licenseplatesgalore.com

All images are working fine and it is secure on the pages it should be and not on the others. If anyone can come up with an idea on the admin part that would be of great use. Thank you
