SSL is on, but http:// login page does not redirect to https://

[Merlinpa1969]

what compliance scanner are you using?
we have MANYYYYYYYY users that have passed their PCI Compliance scans without this issue

Some customers also look at the address bar to see if they are on an https site. I know I do.

So, it's pretty easy to change the customer login URL to https

in includes\templates\your-template\sideboxes\tpl_shopping_cart.php find the line

<a href="<?=HTTP_SERVER.DIR_WS_CATALOG?>index.php?main_page=login">Login</a>

and change the HTTP to HTTPS

<a href="<?=HTTPS_SERVER.DIR_WS_CATALOG?>index.php?main_page=login">Login</a>

Changing the code is NOT the way to do things - you need to get your HTTP and HTTPS working correctly and Zen Cart will make the switch automatically when it is needed.

But, the customer login page is not https, and this will affect conversion rates. What do you suggest?

i have the same issue, i followed all the instructions in the tutorial to enable ssl, and ssl is correctly installed i checked with the hosting provider and the ssl provider but the login page and the admin area doesn't go to https automatically. When i type in https myself it works just fine but not when the customer clicks on login.

Did anyone fine the solution for this problem??

There is no solution for my issue. My host has a server setup that doesnt allow communication with Zencart. According to my host it's "a Zencart problem".

When I told them that I have never had this problem before, setting up probably close to 15 ZenCart shops, they just ignored me.

What I had to do was manually hardcode all the SSL pages.

My admin login was going to https just fine, but the customer login link was going to http, rather than https, even though I had set both configure.php files according to the zen tutorial.

Using the file manager on my host system, I found that the file permission on the includes/configure.php file was set to read only (444). I set it to 644 for read/write, uploaded the configure.php file again. Problem solved. Then I changed it back to read only (444).

I hope this helps someone.
