I tried to turn on SSL with a shared certificate, but not only did the catalog checkout process stay http://, it broke the admin interface, AND I cannot get it to go back to http (e.g. 'false')
Okay, the long version:
I tried to install the SSL shared certificate for the site I am working on. It did not seem to do anything to the catalog side, but it sent admin to the https:// server. The files were not in the correct place, and I got a 404 error. I moved them into the correct place, and I get an empty page -- no source code, but no 404 error?
I tried to reset the config files so it would go back to http:// for everything (e.g. set https to 'false') but it will not reset. I have overwritten the config files numerous times, tried it on different browsers, etc, but no matter what I do, the admin still redirects to the secure server.
one little complexity, i installed my zencart into a folder (e.g. http://mysite.com/zencartfolder). Is this having any impact on this problem? How do I deal w/ this when I maintain a second "secure" folder? Do I replicate that folder structure, or ignore it?
also, my client/the site is using fortunecity hosting (they suck big time), on Apache, with PHP 4.4.1, with a almost non-existant webpanel and crappy support. (sux for me, i know...)
To summarize:
1. how do I get admin back? which is to say how can I get the admin to go back to non SSL ('false') OR how do I get the SSL admin to work properly?
2. how do I get the catalog SSL to work properly.
I have been to http://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=14 about a hundred times, and it does not have enough detail (and it does not seem to be working here.)
please help.
i am going to cry myself to sleep now
