New Site, advice, help, opinions, etc.

Hi,

 

Im new to the site and osc. I recently setup my own site. This is all new to me, eveything on the site was by me, the template was a free template i found on the web, made some minor adjustments and put on some mods from this site (thank you)

 

 

Im learning so much as I build this site, I set it up to teach my self how to use osc and a few other things. I also wanted to learn about google products as well ( i have the site linked up with google products, anylizer, etc.). I also am messing with an rss whcih worked well till i got an ssl.

 

Im running into a few errors since i recently put on an ssl. I was getting a lock symbol with a line through it on firefox but fixed it, the site seems to work the same it did before the ssl on firefox but not ie. The only issue i have with safari and firefox is that the left colum gets a weird line or lack of line that shows up clean and smooth in ie, but im sure thats a post in itself.

 

Question 1: How can i clean up my site so that in ie people do not have to click the display or not display, it can be very annoying to customers. do I have to adjust every page behind the scens or is there a fix that adjusts on the fly?

 

Question 2: I had to move my site around since i needed my promary domain changed foe the ssl, when i moved everything seemed to work fine. The problem is i cannot login into my admin page. it says invalid login info. this is both for admin and for the custoemr login on my page. then when i create a new login custoemr it says i already exist? When i moved the site around was i supposed to update something iwth the tables?

 

Question 3: What do you think of the site...?

 

 

I started with phpbb which is homebrewliving.com (im probably going to remove the ssl or figure out a way to keep it not sure)

 

the site in question which aplies to this forum is homebrewliving.com/store

I fixed it, in my public_html my host added the following to htaccess

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://homebrewliving.com/$1 [R,L]

 

Which put https on everything. Now osc puts it ont he shopping cart, checkout, et. places where its needed.

I fixed the admin and customer issue login.

 

like I said im learning this as i go along, figured out the problems. (man this stuff is addicting.)

I put:

 

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://homebrewliving.com/$1 [R,L]

 

back into htaccess, it was my live help link that caused the security issue. Should i leave the whole thing https://
