154 fresh install template css not loading

Thanks..

I did several fresh install with 1.5.4, 1.5.5, download from soundforge, upload to the server, going through with zc_install, install with demo products.

Here (ettart.net) there is a zen 1.5.4 install, with //define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://ettart.net');
If i remove // (uncomment) the above, css and images won't load and in the source code I will see this

<base href="https://ettart.net/" /> (https..)

instead of this:
<base href="http://ettart.net/" /> (http..)

and the front end will be all over the place. No theme, no css, you got the picture :-)

I don't know how can I show both situation. I can provide the ftp.

1. Your server's SSL is in really bad shape. See: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/anal...l?d=ettart.net

2. It seems likely that your server's configuration for your domain are sorely incorrect, for numerous reasons, including these base reasons:
a) Any attempts to connect over SSL result in "protocol error" ... which means SSL/TLS is "partially configured, but not completely configured". Better to be all on or all off, not half-way.
b) Zen Cart relies on the server's proper configuration to send proper signals indicating whether SSL is supported or not. Your server is giving some "yes we do https" indicators, but only enough to trick Zen Cart into thinking it should honor SSL (hence it's creating the base href as https) ... but then your server isn't able to deliver on the promise of SSL, so you and your visitors are experiencing failures to load things when requested over https.

From what I can tell Zen Cart is doing what it's designed to do. But your server isn't properly configured.

Thanks..

I thought that disabling SSL during zencart installation would have been enough,
as per: define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

I don't really need SSL as I'm not selling hosting, and the few site in the server have external mx (I pick up only the record A as dns and configure accounts with an external mx record). Also the only payment method is Paypal which only require CURL.
it has worked fine for me this way and never had any problems.

However, I'm not sure that is the problem, as I do have exactly the same configuration for SSL on a different server (with a live zen) and Zen is not throwing any error there, (I get base href http:) but i still get the same notice on ssllabs "No secure protocols supported".

But I do use secure connection for WHM (I'm the only one accessing whm or cpanels) for the reasons above. No email running through the server, and only paypal accepted as payment. As said I don't sell hosting I just got a bunch of websites which i found useful to manage from my own box.

I'll have good look at it, thanks a lot for your advice.
